Each of Gare Consulting’s clients benefit from various investment types, such as value, growth, ESG and alternate investments, based on personal beliefs and risk tolerance. The following examples are two of our biggest investment opportunities we have recently provided our clients.
Qatar
Wealth and Asset Management
The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar presented an unprecedented opportunity in the telecom sector, particularly with influx of millions of tourists. Ahead of this global event, significant efforts were made to enhance the infrastructure needed to support an immense surge in data usage, with a specific focus on providing free public Wi-Fi across various venues, on public transport and in taxis.
This comprehensive initiative aimed to enhance attendees’ experience and showcase Qatar’s advanced digital capabilities on the world stage. By ensuring visitors could stay effortlessly connected through high-speed internet in stadiums, on buses and even while travelling by taxi, the project set a new standard in public connectivity, facilitating seamless communication and live digital interactions to everyone involved.
To seize this advantageous opportunity, we meticulously identified and presented our esteemed clients with the unique chance to invest in a leading telecom company that stood out for its innovative approach and extensive experience in deploying Wi-Fi coverage across Qatar. This company, a prominent player in the Middle Eastern telecom market, successfully implemented a robust wireless network infrastructure capable of handling the high demand expected during the World Cup. Their efforts included upgrading existing facilities and installing new infrastructure that ensured high-speed, reliable internet access was available to everyone, setting a new standard in public telecom services.
The investment in this telecom powerhouse offered numerous benefits, making it an exciting and promising proposition for our clients. It aligned our clients with a key infrastructure project linked to a major international event that was likely to see substantial financial returns due to increased usage and positive visibility. Additionally, the company’s strategic role in such a high-profile project presented potential for enhanced long-term value, boosting its reputation and operational strengths through this extensive undertaking. Investing in this company provided our clients not just with financial returns but also with exposure to a growth sector that continues to evolve and advance.
Gare Consulting’s deep understanding of international investment dynamics and regulatory environments was crucial in facilitating this opportunity for our clients. We navigated through complex foreign exchange controls and investment regulations, particularly those imposed by both the Chinese and Qatari governments, which are crucial for ensuring compliance in cross-border investment activities. By leveraging our expertise in risk management and investment advisory, we ensured that all investment activities were carried out seamlessly, adhering to both local and international laws. This precise approach allowed our clients to confidently engage in foreign investments with trust and confidence.
Hong Kong
Arts & Collectibles
In the culturally vibrant market of Hong Kong, Maecenas has redefined the landscape of art investment by allowing a broader spectrum of investors to acquire fractional shares historically significant artworks and collectibles. This groundbreaking initiative taps into a market traditionally dominated by the wealthy, breaking down entry barriers and democratising the investment process.
Investors now have the unique opportunity to hold stakes in rare and highly coveted pieces, which were once accessible only to a select few. This shift not only broadens the investor base but also introduces greater liquidity into the art market, enhancing these unique items’ overall value and tradability.
Given the complexities associated with managing investments in non-traditional assets, our firm sought to provide our clients with innovative opportunities that are secure and compliant with all applicable laws. This led us to the opportunity of recommending investments in a RegTech company renowned for its expertise in navigating the regulatory landscape that governs such unique investment platforms. The company’s role was crucial in ensuring that every transaction on Maecenas adheres to the highest compliance standards, from due diligence to the final transfer of ownership. Their service guaranteed that all operational aspects of investment platforms, including Maecenas, align with current legal requirements, thereby safeguarding investor interests and maintaining the legitimacy and transparency of the investment process.
Our decision to offer our clients an opportunity to invest in this renowned RegTech company has given them a strategic advantage in today’s regulatory environment, where compliance is key to sustainable investment growth. The company’s services are increasingly sought after in a rapidly evolving market with tighter financial controls and more stringent oversight. The investment offers substantial returns by positioning our clients at the forefront of a sector where regulatory expertise is crucial and providing a protective hedge against potential regulatory shifts impacting the broader market.
Before offering this investment opportunity to our clients, Gare Consulting thoroughly evaluated the domestic regulatory framework. Our analysis focused on understanding and adhering to the specific local regulations that impact alternative investments. This included compliance with the People’s Bank of China’s rules concerning digital transactions and investment products and Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission’s guidelines on investment activities. Ensuring that all aspects of our investment offerings were compliant with these comprehensive regulations and aligned with legal requirements safeguarded our clients’ investments while contributing to the transparency and security of their investment experience.
