ACQUISITION MARKETS
Opportunities in the International Market
The international market, represents opportunities across accessible, stable, reliable, capitalist and free geo-markets, where there are two key factors which will determine growth and stability; 1. social innovation, leading to increases in tourism, trade and direct foreign investment which encourages the controlled and systematic immigration of a cultured and talented workforce. An expanding workforce leads to demands in commercial and lifestyle property. This whole cycle demonstrates how investment potential thus starts with innovation and ends with demand. These are the two factors affecting the growth and stability of a nation, which affect the investors's interest to participate in that market.
All high quality markets represent opportunities for the passive, prudent, intelligent, self determined investor who understands that access to the best assets comes from awareness, knowledge and sophisticated participation of that market; leading to the correct opportunities in the correct locations. The collective efforts of investors attracts others investors and recognising the elements that are interacting within that economy, will apply sensible, responsible and strategic policy to generate rising values, growing incomes, positive sentiment, positive relations and the achievement of a healthy market and strong economy.
The best performing global real estate investment markets are an elite group of the world's most globalised and competitive cities – which include London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong and Seoul. But the overall share of global investment accounted for by the Big Seven fell to 19% in 2017. This was caused by a lack of product and high pricing for prime assets, contributing to strong investor demand amongst second tier real estate investors.
In true Contender style, Los Angeles has displaced New York in the 2017 global rankings, climbing into second place, and Amsterdam saw investment volumes nearly double in 2017. Other Contenders such as Sydney, Shanghai and Toronto also saw higher levels of activity, with Shanghai registering its strongest year on record.
GLOBAL TRENDS
Current Global Mega Trends, Factors, Evolution and Revolutions
Megatrends are the essence of investor intelligence. These trends show how society and therefore global industries, are changing. They show how the future will evolve, appear and thus, defining what are the important factors that will impact monopolies, economies, industrial competition and the desires of the consumer. shaping the way we live, our future, and global industries. Superstar, mega cap companies that are able to capitalize off of multiple megatrends, especially those related to technology development and the sharing economy, are positioning themselves to be leaders of the future.
Investors may choose to favor the low risk option of investing with mega companies who will have the resources to capture future or existing trends and opportunities, representing value and income potential. Investor may otherwise choose to capitalise on knowledge, to innovate and participate in micro economies and engage their own products and investment strategies. This may incorporate as an alternative, or as a mainstream strategy, participation on the periphery in real estate trends affected by core megatrends. Real estate offers a lesser threatened or competitive avenue from which to benefit on the emergence and continuance of mega trends, played by larger corporations and bodies.

ECONOMIC FACTORS
GDP
The Gross Divisional Product of a country indicates the potential of that nation to uphold infrastructure sufficient enough to produce the economic activity, measured by the value of goods sold. Whereas economic speculators tend to observe in absolute, whether the trend is upward or downward, shaping their confidence accordingly. However, at Xecology, we marry up GDP with other factors to understand what are the driving forces in that economy; how is the country generating it's GDP; whether it's products and services have real, sustainable growth potential ahead into the long term.
Stock Market Performance
The stock market is used to conduct a macro analysis; highlighting the industries that are considered to have value potential and how corporate governance is being conducted by corporate executives; whether from the outset, stability and consistency can be observed.
DFI
The appetite of investors to invest across international borders represents strong indication on the country receiving the investment of their competitiveness, as they are effectively attracting investment away from an investor's country of origin. The first mover will be the vanguard for a number of other investors from the same and most likely other countries who would be happy to follow in the footsteps and shadows of major investors.
The Labor Market
It is not the volume of the labor market that is the primary factor but the landscape of the labor market; how is it developing, changing, who is benefitting from the labor market and what is the condition of the labor market; is their sufficient skill set? Is it enhancing the economy? Is it competitive against foreign labor markets? IS the labor market attracted more towards specific industries? What are the sentiments and aspirations of the labor market. How effectively is the labor market being managed by employers.
A stable, educated and competent force will enhance the prospects of a corporation, allowing it to be more competitive and desirable in the consumer market.
Interest Rates, Inflation
These are the factors of control; they control, impact and affect the economy andf must be managed by governments / central banks, in order to ensure that growth is directed and controlled, causing no ill effects. But it is quite common to see effective controls being applied too late or where there is insufficient information on how rapid growth of a sector may cause inflation and excessive growth cause by too many market participants.
Governments
Governments play a key role in the establishment and management of economies. Points of observation should include the establishment and nurturing of international trade agreements, the management / allocation of budgets, the investment strategies to reward growth and the expansion of infrastructure to support growing and necessary economic, social activity.
Like corporations, governments can be observed in terms of performance, co-ordination, co-operation, public relations and their ability to communicate effectively to explain current situations, propose new policies to direct solutions and new initiatives.
Governments must manage relations with their populations; from city communities to corporations; including small businesses and large, influential corporations. Where a government, operating with conviction is able to maintain the trust of it's voters through the consistent development and improvement of conditions and future prospects; such stability will impact wider confidence and the value of corporations, commodities and assets.
Economic Cycles
Xecology monitors the timing and movement of economic cycles; predicting where lies potential risks, opportunities and therefore, what would be determined as effective strategies for investment in enterprises and assets.
