Fractional ownership and asset-sharing allow you get the most out of your investment by purchasing only the shares or time you require from an asset. All other aspects are split, both the benefits and the costs, amongst a limited number of shareholders or members.

In the current economic climate fractional ownership is a very attractive proposition. Many people prefer to invest lower levels of capital in luxury purchases and this is where fractional ownership comes into its own.

With LUX at Mint Leaf, you can decide to cost effectively own a share in a multitude of luxury holiday homes abroad, have access to your favourite yacht eight weeks a year, use a private jet whenever you choose or spend a selection of days behind the wheel of some of the most desirable cars in the world.

LUX at Mint Leaf has meticulously hand picked a small number of exclusive products brought to you by companies who are passionate about quality. A brief description of these is provided below.

We offer a referral fee to any party who successfully introduces a new member to us.

Property
Fractional ownership of property entitles shareholders to certain usage rights, usually in the form of weeks. Fractional ownership is not the same as timeshare. Fractional Ownership affords much of the freedom and usage benefits offered in timeshare, however, the fundamental difference with fractional ownership is that the purchaser owns part of the freehold interest as opposed to units of "time".

Therefore, if the property appreciates in value, then so do the shares. As with whole ownership, fractional owners can sell whenever they deem necessary or prudent, releasing the capital growth from their 'bricks and mortar' investment.

Many don't want the expense and hassle of owning a property they only use for a few weeks of the year. However, they do want the value, equity and other benefits associated with property ownership that fractional ownership can offer.

Yachts
Owning a yacht is far from a practical proposition, with a high buy-in cost, increasing annual costs and a depreciating asset that remains unused for much of the year.

That's where fractional ownership comes into its own - reducing your outlay and ongoing expense whilst giving you the benefit of using your yacht as if it were your own. This comes without the usual financial, maintenance and management headaches.

Private Jets
Travelling time is precious and there simply is no better way to fly than your own private aircraft, combining super-convenience with the best customer service in order to get you to your destination in the most pleasurable way possible.

Private jet travel is becoming more popular for the cash rich/time poor consumer in today's world and the signs are it is set to continue. In addition, the market for private air travel has expanded greatly because of the recent security crackdowns at airports.

With flexible schedules and destinations to suit you, a super-slick airport process, extra security, the potential for entertaining friends and clients but ultimately just to travel and arrive in style, nothing can match your own private jet.
