Get to know Jack Brown @ Invest Islands and some of his achievements: With a deep-rooted passion for sustainable development, nothing brings Jack more satisfaction than helping investors realise their dreams of owning a slice of paradise and ensuring they exit with an excellent return.

In 2016, Jack and Kevin set up a dedicated sales division in Hong Kong, to give investors an easy and secure way to own land and develop real estate on the Indonesian islands of Lombok, Sumba and the Anambas. The partnership is the ideal combination of Jack’s sales and marketing expertise and Kevin’s local knowledge and investment nouse. Full and Secure Foreign Ownership Without a Local Nominee! We are proud to be the only real estate company in Hong Kong that offers its clients an investment in Indonesia and an opportunity to invest through a verifiable, regulated entity without the need for a local nominee.

Invest Islands Jack Brown about investment opportunities in Hong Kong : Rating agency Moody’s Investor Service (Moody’s) increased the Republic of Indonesia National Credit Rating (SCR) from Baa3 / Positive Outlook to Stable Baa2 / Outlook on April 13, 2018.. As the country’s vulnerability to external shocks declines; macroeconomic stability and fiscal discipline, coupled with ongoing reforms, suggest that policy effectiveness is improving. Standard & Poor’s credit rating for Indonesia stands at BB+ with a positive outlook. Fitch’s credit rating for Indonesia was last reported at BBB- with a positive outlook.
Less Relative Risk. Indonesia may be less risky than many emerging markets, with an average annual return of over 25% and a beta coefficient of less than 0.8, according to a February 2011 study by MSCI and Bloomberg. Room to Grow. Indonesia’s market capitalization is significantly smaller than the BRIC economies, which suggests that it has ample room to grow, even if overall growth rates were to slow down, according to a NYSSA analysis. Inflation Risk. Indonesia has faced rising inflation along with its economic growth. If these rates were to move out of control, it could lead to higher interest rates that may negatively impact the country’s equity prices.
“Operating across the Asia Pacific region, Invest Islands is a land brokerage company based in Lombok Indonesia, with strategic offices in Hong Kong under Asian Island Group. I currently oversee all of the aspects of the Asian Island Group. I also travel to the development sites and visit the Invest Islands Foundation Charity projects. Additionally, I frequently travel to the plantation field at the foot of Mount Rinjani that supplies fresh fruits and vegetables to the Invest Islands Resort in Torok Bay.”
USD 23 billion in impact investing opportunities. A conservative estimate by my team at Mekar and myself sets the impact investment potential at USD 23+ billion over the next five years. The Mekar report concluded that the largest opportunities lay in renewable energy, agriculture and fisheries, water, private education and financial services. The report covers 17 sectors of industry with high impact and commercial potential, it looks at the risks, trends and opportunities within these sectors. The Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) reports that over the last decade some USD 3.7 billion in impact investments flowed into Indonesia. A small portion of this USD 148 million is from private impact investors, the rest from development finance institutions (DFIs). Agribusiness and Financial services received the majority of the capital, where DFI’s tended to use debt and private investors equity finance.
According to Jack Brown, Invest Islands Foundation is the project he is particularly proud of. The NGO has already built a school in the village of Batu Banke, pays local widows and single mothers to clean the beaches and is developing a recycling centre for the collected waste.
