The RIO Property Group Ltd. has put together a parcel of select investment properties offering an attractive alternative to the normal low risk and low return.

Stock markets around the world have been very volatile of late and a host of investors have been seeking safe havens for their lump sum holdings. The RIO Club anticipated this volatility before it arrived, setting up The RIO Property Group Ltd. and sourcing investment opportunities to satisfy the requirements of the RIO Club members.

This investment has a fixed maturity date of January 2003 and is only available to club members. As a shareholder in RIO you would benefit from the fact that all properties held within the portfolio are returning + 12% per annum on rental income alone. 
Through the groups various sources, RIO has been able to put together a selection of prime location properties. Since all participating properties were purchased with tenants already in occupation, who are in all cases legally bound by a full repairing and insuring lease, the costs of all renovation and refurbishment will be met by the tenants. All properties held within the portfolio are freehold and free of any liens. When considering investing in The RIO Property Group Ltd. consider the following:
The level of protection afforded a landlord of commercial property in the U.K. is more than excellent. In fact, the lease contract between RIO and the tenants mirrors a Government bond in that it represents the right to collect income. Furthermore, with a full repairing and insuring lease in position within the complete portfolio of properties, the responsibility for repairs and maintenance is conferred to the tenants.

Indeed, the lease between RIO and the tenants in all cases, incorporates the phrase "repair, renew and/or rebuild".  As there is no limiting factor during the term of the lease, this places the tenants under obligation to re-instate the property to a condition comparable to that at the start of the lease.  This is clearly a very attractive position for The RIO Property Group Ltd. to be in.

Although RIO reserves the right to insure the buildings, they are entitled to recover the cost of insurance premiums from the tenants. Buildings are insured on an all risks basis with the added attraction of the provision for rental loss cover to assure the income stream.
RIO Property Group Ltd. Certificates Matured January 2003
This was the club’s first direct fixed interest opportunity launched in November 1997 - a Sterling based investment. Most Investors have now as we requested surrendered their RIO Property Group Ltd. Certificates since they matured in January 2003 and should not be held past this date. I am happy to say that almost all have been more than impressed by the returns produced. Indeed returns were in many cases over 50% of the original capital invested. The target was a simple return of 12% p.a., which was achieved whilst equity markets suffered one of the worst volatile periods in the last 15 years.
