NovProtecting capital and overseas assets
These guides examine the property’s role in a wider capital plan rather than an advertised return: currency of price and costs, concentration, cash flow, reserves, liquidity and exit. An overseas asset is not automatically a safer asset. Define the objective and acceptable risk first, then compare evidenced costs, income and sale routes.

- Capital preservation starts with the time horizon and the amount of volatility or illiquidity you can tolerate, not with choosing a favourite asset. Cash, securities, gold and property behave very differently when you suddenly need access to funds.
- Property can provide rental income and a tangible asset, but selling takes time and carries transaction costs. Financial assets are usually easier to move, while introducing their own market, banking and regulatory risks.
- Do not compare assets only by past returns. Put currency exposure, holding period, costs, access to cash and a downside scenario into the same framework.
