Renowned for his exquisite handcrafted jewellery designs, Matthew Ely is the leading luxury jewellery designer and gemmologist in Australia. Defining a new generation of Australian jeweller, Matthew Ely specialises in handcrafted, unique and luxury jewellery born from a love of rare gemstones and inspired by his clients. With an extensive family history in jewellery, Matthew grew up surrounded by precious stones and exquisite design, knowing early on that this was his destined career. A love for design and exceptional materials was transformed into a professional passion when within his first year of TAFE, Matthew won the prestigious World Skills in New South Wales, and came 3rd in Australia. Such success at an early age saw Matthew recognised as a young talent and awarded a scholarship from the Australian Overseas Foundation. Settling in London, Matthew was offered a chance to prove his worth among the world’s best craftsmen at the Jacobs Jewellery manufacturing workshop. Mentored by the Workshop Manager who had worked on some of the biggest diamonds in the world (100ct+), a diamond setter whom had worked on the English crown jewels and a jeweller that manufactured the million pound necklace from Boodles, Matthew gained invaluable insight into the creation of outstanding luxury jewellery.
26
Working alongside the best in the industry, Matthew mastered his jewellery skills, with a focus placed on advanced techniques and the design of handcrafted, extraordinary pieces. On his return to Sydney, Matthew has drawn upon this passion for unique and premium jewellery to establish himself among the top jewellers in Australia. In 2014, only 28 years old, Matthew opened the doors to his luxury boutique in Woollahra, a renowned ha en for fine ewellery in Sydney s East. Mar ing a signifi ant turning point in his career, Matthew has accumulated a following of clients with an appreciation for handcrafted, luxury design. Matthew’s passion for creating unique pieces that are perfectly tailored to his clientele desires is evident in the deeply personal and tailored customer experience at the boutique.
“My ability to work end to end on an exquisite piece of jewellery, from sourcing the world’s rarest and most precious gems, drawing and designing the piece with the client, to crafting the jewellery itself means I am able to develop truly exceptional creations that hold sentimental value for the wearer.”

THE RISE OF THE AFFLUENT IMMIGRANT: WHY THE WORLD’S RICHEST ARE CHOOSING TO MIGRATE
T
he Knight Frank World Wealth Report 2017 re reports the world’s super-wealthy spend over USD 2.4bn on second citizenship each year, with most demand coming from China, the Middle East, and Rus Russia. Immigration amongst high-net-worth individuals is ‘strong and growing’, the report notes. Indeed, some of the world’s most affluent businesspeople are choosing to migrate to other countries and/or adopt second citi citizenship. But why do high-net-worth individuals find second cit citizenship so attractive? Is citizenship-by-investment re really the best use of your money? Let’s look at the top reasons for wealthy investors choos choosing second citizenship, and explore the programmes that prove most attractive. Why do so many high-net-worth individuals opt for second citizenship? While every investor we talk to is different, everyone shares some common hopes and fears: Stability, safety and security: Global forced displace displacement is the highest it’s been for decades. Second citi citizenship is an insurance policy against this sort of up upheaval, allowing those with means to secure a better future for themselves and their family. If you’re one of the many who worry about increasing political and eco economic turmoil, citizenship-by-investment can offer in invaluable peace of mind. Global forced displacement is the highest it’s been for decades. Second citizenship is an insurance policy against this sort of upheaval, allowing those with means to secure a better future for themselves and their family. Global mobility: Some passports can be very restrictive 46
regarding global mobility, which can be a real hindrance for anyone who enjoys – or relies on – international travel. At the time of writing, the top passport-holders could travel to 160+ countries on visa-free or visa-on-arrival terms. Global mobility is an issue of personal and professional freedom. Of being able to holiday where you want; take business meetings where you want, without lengthy visa delays and restrictions. Global mobility is an issue of keeping up when we live in increasingly globalised societies; not being able to move freely really can hold you back. For high-net-worth individuals, citizenship-by-investment offers global mobility that might not otherwise be available – along with genuine personal and professional benefits. Trade and investment: Restrictions in global mobility often also translate to restrictions in trade and invest-
ment, because they both stem from the same thing: global standing. Countries that enjoy positive standing on the world stage also enjoy an abundance of global treaties and agreements, which grant citizens increased rights. Countries that are more internationally isolated enjoy fewer of these privileges, and citizens bear the burden. These privileges include freedom to travel easily, and also extend to trade. There can be huge disparity in the number of such agreements countries hold, and from which citizens benefit. For example, the Democratic Republic of Congo is not the only country in Africa that holds no global goods and services regional trade agreements. Citizens from these countries would have no preferential rights on regional trading which would significantly impact business development. On the other hand, countries such as Canada, the US, China, and the UK enjoy around 40 regional trade agreements that empower easier trade for their citizens.
Investing in second citizenship can give access to preferential trade agreements and conditions that would be otherwise inaccessible. For wealthy businesspeople, this can deliver significant returns in terms of trade within new territories. Tax relief: Another major reason high-net-worth individuals choose second citizenship is what the Knight Frank report calls the ‘ever-growing demand from the wealthy to move their money into safe havens’. Many wealthy individuals are realising second citizen citizenship can pay for itself in tax relief. With a 0% corpo corporate income tax rate (along with many other favourable rates) offered by several countries around the world, particularly those in the Caribbean, the potential sav savings are clear. Quality of life: Many second citizenship programmes are designed so you don’t have to live in (or in some cases ever travel to) the country to gain and maintain your new citizenship. While many investors see this as a real plus, many embrace the opportunity to relocate. 47
Many second citizenship programmes are designed so you don’t have to live in (or in some cases ever travel to) the country to gain and maintain your new citizenship. When money is no object, it makes sense that securing the best possible life for you and your family would be high on your agenda. And sometimes, that requires a new country, a new home and a new lifestyle. On average 32% of ultra high-net-worth individuals plan to buy a new home outside their country of residency in the next two years, reports the Knight Frank World Wealth Report 2017. The UK, US, France, Switzerland, and Spain are the five most popular locations for second homes, while lifestyle is the most important factor determining location choice. For those with means, citizenship- or residency-by-investment can be the first step in building a new life somewhere you really want to be.
3. Cyprus: There are a number of citizenship and golden visa programmes across Europe. While they all have their benefits, Cyprus is probably the most impressive of them all. You can secure full citizenship here in a matter of months, and your new passport will unlock 149 countries on visa-free or visa-on-arrival terms. Cyprus offers an attractive relocation destination too, with a high-quality of life and good infrastructure. And you’ll benefit from a very low corporate tax rate of only 12.5%. One of the most interesting benefits of the programme, though, will be your newfound status as an EU citizen – and therefore access to the EU single market. Businesses operating within the EU single market enjoy preferential terms and tariffs and less red tape, making intra-EU trade easier and more profitable. For international businesspeople wanting to unlock trade through the EU, Cypriot citizenship is the obvious answer.
Which citizenship-by-investment programmes are most popular? What does the future hold for wealthy migration and especial- second citizenship? Let’s look at three investment programmes that especial ly appeal to high-net-worth individuals’ main concerns. The combination of increased global wealth with decreased stability is likely to fuel continued growth in the Program: When life- second citizenship landscape. 1.

Peroni Sunset Cinema was the best way, for young and old alike not only, an event to appreciate new released movies, but also the best occasion to taste coastal cuisine and sunset drinks from their partner The Tanjong Beach Club. Guests were encouraged to arrive as early as 5 pm to catch up old friends or meet new ones, and be entertained by
several DJs before the cinema performance. There was nothing more you could wish, than strolling in this tropical beach setting conductive to the finest Instagram shots, while cheering with some chilled Italian Peroni beers.
