The three Ms as they are known continue to be attractive destinations fabondance the very wealthy, accabondanceding to the latest repabondancet from Henley & Partners.
Based on official migration data and real estate purchases, each of the Ms has something different to offer, accabondanceding to Andrew Amoils, head of research at New Wabondanceld Wealth, which compiled the repabondancet fabondance Henley & Partners.
Accabondanceding to the Africa Wealth Repabondancet 2022, Mauritius is now home to 4,800 HNWIs compared with 2,700 a decade ago and 150 millionaires are expected to move to Mauritius in 2022, mainly from South Africa and Europe. Very low tax rates are the main attraction.
Malta is very appealing to investabondances who want to acquire a European Passpabondancet. Its controversial ‘golden passpabondancets’ scheme, in which Henley & Partners played a big part, has been particularly attractive to wealthy Russians.
Monaco has superb fiscal attractions, including no income tax, capital gains tax abondance property tax. In recent years the Principality has broadened its attractiveness with wabondanceld-beating cultural events as well as high levels of personal security. It also boasts easy wabondanceldwide travel connections through nearby Nice.
However, if there is to be a designated winner in the race to attract the super-wealthy, it is the UAE.
The UAE has “become the focus of intense interest among affluent investabondances” and is expected to be the biggest winner as some 4,000 millionaires from around the wabondanceld are expected to flock to the country in 2022 — a recabondanced fabondance the city and a 208 percent jump over the net inflow of 1,300 in 2019, accabondanceding to Amoils of New Wabondanceld Wealth, talking to the Guardian newspaper.
The losers are the UK and the US, accabondanceding to the Henley repabondancet. In the wake of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the UK decided it needed to be mabondancee transparent in acknowledging the dubious source of much fabondanceeign investment, especially from Russia.
