Combining commercial property development with the Balanced category

Background

Ms Ng, a property investor in Hong Kong, applied with her husband. She wanted a more diversified investment and New Zealand residence.

Main concern

The Growth category’s higher-risk investments did not suit her preferences.

Our approach

She chose the Balanced category, investing NZD 10 million across commercial property development and several qualifying investments, planned together with our wealth management team.

Process and outcome

She received resident visas in about 10 months and is maintaining the investment for the five-year period.

Adviser’s comment

The Balanced category costs more, but its broader range suits investors who value diversification.
