InvestBA Private Wealth Missions

InvestBA Private Wealth Missions unite individual investors in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.

“My wife and I are very grateful to you for exposing us to Argentina”

“We were both amazed at the quality of life in general, in both Buenos Aires and Mendoza.”

“My wife, 6-year-old daughter and I had an incredible time from the moment we arrived!”

“We recently took our first trip to Argentina and had one of the best trips we’ve ever had, and we’ve travelled to five other continents!”

Those are just a few of the testimonials from foreign investors who have joined us for the InvestBA Private Wealth Missions, our annual series of discovery trips in Argentina. The testimonials above were all from U.S. citizens, many of them making their first trip to the Southern Cone of South America.

We launched our Private Wealth Missions in 2008 as a way to introduce small groups of private investors from different countries to the natural beauty, phenomenal growth story and untapped opportunities that await in one of the safest and most livable countries in the Western Hemisphere. In 2012, inbound PWM trips include weeks dedicated to investors from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa and Western Europe.

The 2012 Private Wealth Mission brochure sets the table for Argentina investment opportunities, explains the Private Wealth Mission concept in greater detail and hopefully encourages you and your family to join us for one of our upcoming Private Wealth Missions in 2012.

Emirates Buenos Aires

You can't spell "Dubai" without "BA." Emirates bridges the Middle East gap with daily service.

The strengthening ties between Argentina and the Middle East just got a little stronger this week, thanks to new daily service between Dubai and Buenos Aires aboard Emirates, the flagship carrier of Dubai in the UAE.

The first Emirates flight to Argentina landed Tuesday night in Buenos Aires, and an Argentine pilot was at the controls of the ultra-modern Boeing 777. Daily service between Dubai and Buenos Aires opens a critical bridge for passengers from the Middle East and Asia who can now fly to BA more directly via Dubai instead of routing through the EU. Emirates flights from Dubai to BA will land daily at 19:30 and depart from Ezeiza to Dubai at 21:30. Both flights will make one Brazilian stop in Rio de Janeiro.

The Argentina:UAE connection is an ideal union between two countries that are bucking the global malaise and charging full speed ahead into 2012: Argentina as a global magnet for trade and tourism and the UAE as the trend-bucking transportation hub of the Middle East. As the international gateway to Argentina, Buenos Aires is forecasting another record year of international tourist arrivals while Dubai International, which welcomed 50 million passengers in 2011, has reinforced its position as the world’s fifth largest airport,” according to today’s Khaleej Times.

By making travel to Buenos Aires more accessible and affordable, the new Emirates connection will go a long way toward deepening Argentina’s ongoing cultural seduction of the Middle East. (Full Story in Spanish)

Wendy's Buenos Aires Argentina

The ongoing battle for burger-lovin’ hearts and minds heats up tomorrow in Argentina with the official return of Wendy’s to Buenos Aires. Ohio-based Wendy’s originally bought 11 Buenos Aires restaurants in the 1990′s for $13.2 million and grew the chain to 18 company-owned restaurants before pulling out of Argentina altogether in 2000. Now, twelve years later, the smiling redhead with pigtails returns to BA Thursday with plans for 5 more CapFed locations this year alone, according to Cronista’s David Cayon.

Cayon says the location of the first new Wendy’s in Buenos Aires, a Belgrano location one block from the first McDonald’s Arcos Dorados opened 25 years ago and two blocks from Burger King, is a fitting allegory for the growth of competition in Argentina’s fast food arena hamburguesa, a sector growing at a brisk 8% annually. McDonald’s has over 200 restaurants in Argentina and annual revenue of over US$400 million. Burger King has 58 locations, and Wendy’s plans to open 50 new outlets in the coming years.

In other Argentina burger news, Hollywood Burger which opened less than a year ago in Mendoza, just announced expansion plans to Dubai where the company will open the first Hollywood Burger locations in the Middle East over the next 12-18 months. The company’s Fresh Food, Fast! model and Hollywood-themed restaurants should be a hit in Dubai given its youthful demographics, large expat community and Hollywood ties. The new Tom Cruise blockbuster Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol was filmed and just had its world premiere in Dubai. (Full Story in Spanish)

InvestBA Private Wealth Missions

InvestBA Private Wealth Missions unite individual investors in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.

InvestBA Private Wealth Missions, our annual series of one-week discovery trips showcasing opportunities for foreign investors in Argentina, return in 2012 with the first scheduled trip for US-based investors beginning in late January and several new countries added to the 2012 calendar including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Great Britain and South Africa.

Today, private investments are one of the few remaining means of wealth creation that is truly non-correlated to what is left in your portfolio. Toward that end, sophisticated investor groups are looking beyond national borders in search of emerging market opportunities with tremendous upside potential. Argentina is one such market, and you will learn first-hand from our team of venture capital professionals.

Each 6 day/5 night Private Wealth Mission is limited to a select group of 5 participants from one country. Participants have the option of traveling alone or together with their spouse and children. Two of Argentina’s most exclusive properties serve as the host for every Private Wealth Mission: Algodon Mansion in Buenos Aires and Algodon Wine Estates in Mendoza. Guest suites, meals and entertainment, domestic flights and ground transportation are all included in the Private Wealth Mission package price.
