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.

Inmobiliaria Parque Patricios

IT companies and new residents are restoring classic buildings in the BA Tech District (Click for more info)

The Buenos Aires neighborhood of Parque Patricios is quickly becoming a hip haven for tech companies, young professionals and small service-oriented businesses hoping to cater to the new incoming wave of tech talent. At the core of the barrio, the City of Buenos Aires Technology District is the magnet which is attracting the talent and simultaneously revitalizing the neighborhood.

Clarin’s Pablo Novillo says the four-year-old BA Tech District now counts 101 companies either working in the District or currently moving their offices to Parque Patricios. The influx of 11,000 full-time workers has had a dramatic impact on the real estate values in the southern neighborhood, a trend we noted in the Luxury Latin America article on Investing in Buenos Aires. Novillo estimates real estate values have risen 16.6% since the fourth quarter of 2010.

Since its inception, the Tech District has been responsible for the construction or renovation of over 1 million square feet for office and residential use. And now that there are more full-time workers and residents, small businesses from fast food restaurants to gyms to dry cleaners are beginning to move to the sprawling 500-acre District. The October opening of the Parque Patricios Subte station was a major milestone for connecting non-resident workers to this booming BA barrio. (Full Story in Spanish)

InvestBA was recently invited to tour the Tech District with Valeria Zivelonghi of the Buenos Aires Investor Assistance Center. That feature article from the new issue of InvestBA Privada is available here.

Mark Zuckerberg David Guetta Punta del Este Uruguay

The Prince & The DJ: Global mixmasters Zuckerberg and Guetta both arrive in Punta del Este

Susana Gimenez, Jean Claude Van Damme, Pamela Anderson, the Wayans Brothers…there was a time when summer vacations in Punta del Este only attracted celebrities who were a.) completely irrelevant to anyone outside of Argentina, b.) a few decades past their prime or c.) celebrities entre comillas.

All that changed yesterday with the arrival of two bona fide celebrities who have touched the lives of millions worldwide: Mark Zuckerberg and David Guetta. The Facebook Co-Founder and the world’s number one House DJ both arrived in Uruguay yesterday for Punta del Este vacations and gigs, respectively.

After ringing in the New Year in Florianópolis, Zuckerberg arrived Monday with his girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, seven friends and an entourage including chefs, assistants and bodyguards. According to El Pais’ Viviana Ruggiero, the group is renting the local home of a US executive. Prior to arrival, the home was furnished and cleaned according to their specifications. (Full Story in Spanish)

Global DJ and top producer David Guetta also touched down yesterday in advance of tonight’s sold out show at El Jaguel. The 44-year old Frenchman and two-time Grammy winner is touring to promote his current release, Nothing But The Beat. A crowd of 20,000 are expected to watch him close out the Movistar Free Music series which began with BA performances by Jane’s Addiction, Interpol and Inspiral Carpets. Most importantly, Movistar is donating half of tonight’s proceeds to an orphanage in nearby Maldonado. (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.
