Best International have launched a new development fund less than two weeks after announcing the $2billion Chinese Investment in Orthios Eco Parks.
The Resort Development Fund, in partnership with The Resort Group was unveiled in the same week that Best International’s Lanner Fund reported exceptional performance results for its shareholders.
The Cheshire based asset management specialists are rapidly establishing themselves as the UK leaders in the alternative investment market, along with an increasingly enviable reputation in the development and management of regulated investment funds.
Following the announcement of the huge investment in the Anglesey power plant last month, Best International revealed the significant rise in their specialist Lanner car park fund, reporting a 69.8% growth in capital value on redemption, in addition to an average annual dividend of over 6.5%.
New Fund
On Monday, at the Elite Summit in Montreux the Best International team will be presenting the new Resort Development Fund to some of the premier investment managers from a group of international family offices.
The Lanner Fund (a sub fund of Falcon Investment SICAV Plc.), which opened at $1,000 per share, and closed at $1,697.52 per share last month. In addition to the increase in value gained, shareholders also enjoyed an average annual yield payment of 6.5%, a highly successful investment period for shareholders.
Best International’s Co-Founder and Fund Manager of The Falcon Investment Property SICAV Plc, Brad Lincoln, said of the recent fund activity “Given Lanner’s strong performance and the rewards gained by investors, we are excited to be launching this new Fund with The Resort Group plc as part of their rapid growth.”

Successful
The new Resort Development Fund is part of the same successful Falcon group of funds managed by Best International. The Fund will focus on acquiring a series of fixed interest corporate bonds and direct property interests in branded resorts and hotels.
