GROWTH WITH SECURITY
Welcome MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER I set up Prestige Brokers to capitalise on our strong network of contacts with European financial institutions. In the past year, strategic deal making and negotiating allowed Prestige Brokers to successfully create what the market acknowledged as some of 2011’s most attractive investment proposals. We did not only give our clients the chance to develop diverse BMV international portfolios but also coupled that together with minimal cash input. After a highly successful first year of business we have developed a powerful standing and reputation in the European property and finance sector. We are now constantly being approached with the latest projects and deals on the market. At Prestige Brokers however we refuse to take on anything less than the best, therefore, after extensive market research, visits to over 50 projects in 6 countries and 14 cities, I finally hand-picked the relatively unknown town of Alhama de Murcia in Spain, which I believe is today ‘The Best Property Market in Europe’. The most successful investors are those with vision and instinct, able to look further than what is before their eyes. With projects in excess of 6 Billion Euro’s under way, including a new airport, a high speed rail link connecting the town to the rest of Spain and the 1.1 Billion Euro Paramount Theme Park, this small town is set to transform into one of Europe’s major tourism hubs. To confirm Murcia’s potential I held countless meetings with local authorities, developers, property agents/investors and senior level management at banks in the financial hub of Madrid, whom all confirmed my excitement was with good reason. To further cement my confidence not long into 2012 Murcia was named within ‘The World’s Best Real Estate Markets in 2012’ by the highly acclaimed International Living publication. With full confidence I would like to give all of our investors my stamp of approval and I recommend to those of you which do possess the capacity todefinitely capitalise on this great opportunity. Kind Regards,
Z.Shah zeeshaan.shah@prestigebrokers.co.uk

Why invest in MURCIA?
SPAIN Spain’s capitalist mixed economy is the twelfth largest in the world and the Eurozone’s fourth largest. It is regarded as the world’s 20th most developed country.

Overview Spain’s capitalist mixed economy is the twelfth largest in the world and the Eurozone’s fourth largest. It is regarded as the world’s 20th most developed country.
According to calculations by the German newspaper Die Welt in 2007, Spain was on course to overtake Germany in per capita income by 2011.
The centre-right government of former Prime Minister José María Aznar worked successfully to gain admission to the group of countries launching the euro in 1999. Unemployment stood at 7.6% in October 2006, a rate that compared favorably to many other European countries, and especially with the early 1990s when it stood at over 20%.
The 2008/2009 credit crunch and world recession manifested itself in Spain through a massive downturn in the property sector. Fortunately, Spain’s banks and financial services avoided the more severe problems of their counterparts in the USA and UK, due mainly to a stringently enforced conservative financial regulatory regime. The Spanish financial authorities had not forgotten the country’s own banking crisis of 1979 and an earlier real-estateprecipitated banking crisis of 1993. Indeed, Spain’s largest bank, Banco Santander, participated in the UK government’s bail-out of part of the UK banking sector.
The most recent economic growth benefited greatly from the global real estate boom, with construction representing an astonishing 16% of GDP and 12% of employment in its final year.

SPAIN
Moving Forward Despite doom and gloom in the media important points to be noted are that at the beginning of 2010, Spain’s public debt as a percentage of GDP was still less than those of Britain, France or Germany. Research about quality of life by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s quality of life survey placed Spain as the country among the top 10 best quality of life in the world for 2005, ahead of other economically and technologically advanced countries like France, Germany, the United Kingdom and South Korea. Before the current crisis, the Spanish economy was credited for having avoided the virtual zero growth rate of some of its largest partners in the EU. In fact, the country’s economy created more than half of all the new jobs in the European Union over the five years ending 2005.
The Spanish economy is still regarded as one of the most dynamic within the EU, attracting significant amounts of foreign investment.
During the last four decades the Spanish tourism industry has grown to become the second biggest in the world, worth approximately 40 billion Euros, about 5% of GDP, in 2006. Today, the climate of Spain, historical and cultural monuments and its geographic position together with its facilities make tourism one of Spain’s main national industries and a large source of stable employment and development. With growth of 17.4% to 185.799 million euros in sales, the export sector has recovered to pre-crisis levels, according to data released by the Ministry of Industry. With a contribution of 1.1% to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the export sector has brought stability to the Spanish economy. The improvement in exports including emerging countries, has allowed the trade deficit is not increased because of rising global energy prices. The OECD puts Spain in fifth place in the ranking, with estimated exports of goods and services 9.9%. Spain is placed after Germany and Slovakia, which will increase its sales abroad by 10.4%.

MURCIA Murcia a city in south-eastern Spain, is the capital and most populous city of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, and the seventh largest city in the country, with a population of 689,591 in 2010. It is located on the Segura River, in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, noted by a mild climate with hot summers, tepid winters and scarce precipitation. Murcia was founded by the emir of Cordoba Abd ar-Rahman II in 825 AD with the name and is now mainly a services city and a university town. Highlights for visitors include the Cathedral of Murcia and a number of baroque buildings, renowned local cuisine, Holy Week processions, works of art by the famous Murcia sculptor Francisco Salzillo, and the Fiestas de Primavera (Spring Festival). The city, as the capital of the comarca Huerta de Murcia is called Europe’s orchard due to its long agricultural tradition and as a fruits, vegetables and flowers producer and exporter.
16
Economy Murcia serves as a major producer of agricultural products; it is common to find Murcia’s tomatoes and lettuce, and especially lemons and oranges, in European supermarkets. Murcia is a producer of wines, with about 100,000 acres devoted to grape vineyards. Most of the vineyards are located in Ricote and Jumilla. Jumilla is a plateau where the vineyards are surrounded by mountains. Murcia is a centre for industry, with many British and American companies choosing it as a location for satellite factories, such as Henry Milward & Sons, American firms like General Electric and Paramount Park Studios. Recently, the economy of the region is turning towards “residential tourism” in which people from northern European countries have a second home in the area. The economy of Murcia is supported by fairs and congresses, museums, theatres, cinema, music, aquariums, bullfighting, restaurants, hotels, camping, sports, foreign students, and tourism.

Given its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, it is commonly referred to as a “semi-arid Mediterranean climate”, with mild winters and warm to hot summers. It averages more than 300 days of sun per year. Occasionally, Murcia has heavy rains where the precipitation for the entire year will fall over the course of a few days. During winter, the average daily temperature range is a high of 16 °C during the day and a low of 4 °C at night. In summer, the range goes from 34 °C during the day to 20 °C at night.

Whilst there has been a Military airport at nearby San Javier for many years, there have been plans to build a commercial facility on the newly aqcuired site at Corvera for some time. It was only as recently as 2007 that the project to build Corvera International Airport was finally approved and planning and construction work was able to commence. Unlike El Altet and San Javier airports, which are owned and operated by the Spanish Airports Authority - AENA - Corvera International airport will be owned and operated by the Region of Murcia, and as such will effectively be in competition with other airports. The Corvera Murcia International will serve all the airlines offering flights to the new Paramount Resort from its inception in 2015.
High Speed AVE Rail Link Alta Velocidad Española (AVE)
is a service of high-speed rail in Spain operated by Renfe, the Spanish national railway company, at speeds of up to 310 km/h. It currently consists of five dedicated passenger train main lines. The total length of the network currently stands at 2,665 km, making it the longest in Europe, and the second in the world after China.
Connecting the capital, Madrid, with several of Spain’s largest cities, the five lines are named according to their terminus cities. The first line to open was the Madrid–Seville high-speed rail line, followed by the Madrid–Valladolid high-speed rail line, the Córdoba–Málaga high-speed rail line, the Madrid–Barcelona high-speed rail line, and the Madrid–Valencia high-speed rail line. The network is to be greatly expanded during the next decade with most of the Spanish peninsula being connected. Renfe have recently commenced works to connect Murcia to the AVE line. With plans confirmed and moving swiftly forward for the Paramount Theme Park in Alhama de Murcia an additional link has been added to the new Corvera International Airport.
Construction has also been streamlined for the Murcia link at a cost of
2.5 Billion Euros and services will begin

Two airports, the new Corvera International Airport and San Javier Airport will provide easy access by air and there is also an excellent road network between Madrid and the Mediterranean area. A new High Speed Train line is expected to open in 2014 connecting Murcia with the main Spanish capitals.
