Astute individuals in a position to purchase a second home or vacation home, appreciate the value of paying only for what they use without the stress and maintenance overheads of whole ownership. It is important to understand exactly what constitutes a Private Residence Club and what ingredients are essential to its success.These include: • World class resort location • Management company credibility. • Superior finishes and furnishings • Exceptional architecture • A wide range of leisure facilities, on-site restaurants and a health spa • Personalized services on par with those of an exclusive resort including concierge service, daily housekeeping, personal shopping and stocking of the residence, hotel room service etc. • An excellent team in place with experience in providing five star service and the infrastructure to support it. Buy only what you will use Many individuals have concluded that owning very expensive but rarely used assets is a waste of money. They are buying an eighth of a private jet, 60 days of driving a top-of–the-line Ferrari, three weeks’ vacation-spread between a villa in Tuscany and a ski chalet in Aspen,-or a share in a luxury yacht. Fractional Ownership offers variety together with the comfort of an equity investment. 18 Brand Support. An important endorsement of the Private Residence Club concept is that several of the world´s leading hotel groups including Ritz Carlton, Marriott, Hyatt, Four Seasons and, of course, Fairmont have all launched very successful projects worldwide. Tremendous appeal to the affluent. In the real estate sector in particular, up-market fractional interest resorts have enjoyed steady, robust growth since their introduction in the late 1990´s. In 1996, there were only six global-standard projects in this category, but by the end of 2006 there were 225, positive proof of their popularity and immense appeal to wealthy people who are able to couple leisure and investment. While economic conditions impacted sales in 2008, 2009 saw a 7.9% increase in vacation home sales bucking real estate investment trends. By 2010, the fractional ownership industry in the USA alone generated sales of $350 million with 71% of resorts reporting a rise in demand versus the previous year.* *Reuters Formal versus Informal Shared Ownership. Buying property with friends, relatives or business partners is not a new concept and has been commonplace since second residences or vacation residences became fashionable in the 1960´s. While sharing costs of an underutilized asset makes financial sense, informal private shared ownership has many drawbacks. Friendships have floundered over arguments about nearly everything to do with a shared property, from décor and maintenance to conflicts about how long each person gets to use the property and when. The result is that many people have avoided sharing a house and even the really wealthy question the expenditure involved of buying a vacation property outright. 19 Today, three major realities are driving the move to formalized shared ownership in vacation properties: 1.- Well thought out and executed ownership documents have created simple and equitable use plans that make fractional ownership virtually hassle-free. 2.- Property in desirable locations, where prime land is scarce, is increasingly expensive. Prices of second residences plus the increase in monitoring of discreet income for the great majority, have brought many to the conclusion that it seems irrational to own what you do not use. 3.- Private Residence Clubs are at the top end of fractional ownership market, offering luxury and quality that holds its own against resort accommodation anywhere in the world. It demands the combination of prime locations, exceptional architecture, stunning design and the highest level of services and amenities to deliver a definitively five-star product. 20 6.

The Annual Operating Fee will be calculated to meet a planned programme of maintenance and refurbishment of the residence to match the initial high standards throughout the lifetime of every Owner’s investment.
