When it comes to alternative investments, it is important to know how to invest your money smartly and efficiently, while considering all relevant risks – just as you would with any other investment type.

Renting a property without paying for it is no longer illegal. McDonald’s and Burger King in the UK are just two examples of a ‘blue chip’ tenant refusing to pay or looking to reduce their quarterly rent payments. 

Legal protection for commercial and residential tenants in a number of countries has already been enacted. Due to Covid-19, these tenants are not legally in breach of contract by not paying their rent for 6 months, even if they have the assets to do so. 

In other words - some of the most basic premises of investing in real estate no longer hold true. 

As always in these quarterly newsletters, we try to bring you relevant and interesting insights without being too technical. The topics we choose are based on real discussions with clients and we hope you will find this review interesting.

In July, Pioneer Wealth Management was awarded “Best Israeli Wealth Management Team 2016” by CFI.co[1] – a European financial magazine and website. This comes at a time when we believe we have had an excellent year for clients so far. We firmly believe our approach and strictly fee based services, without conflicts of interest, are especially appropriate for these low interest rate times.

For those of you who would like to see some of the faces of the Pioneer people, we invite you to visit our Facebook page and check out the pictures from our 30 year birthday celebration.
