HOW MUCH RISK IS RIGHT?
NIGEL BARNES
MANAGING PARTNER, HENLEY & PARTNERS SA
“We have recently witnessed several major
events — including Brexit and the election of
US President Donald Trump — that are likely to
have an impact on global mobility. These can be
interpreted as steps toward restricting movement
and creating barriers to entry. This trend towards
curbing travel freedom is already apparent in the
shift in rankings on this year’s index.”

“An Ancestry visa is often overlooked by older
South Africans as a means of emigrating to the
UK. It’s a step-by-step process that does take
five years to ultimately secure your future in
the UK but the qualifying process and criteria
are relatively simple, especially with the right
support.”
SIMON RUBINSOHN
CHIEF ECONOMIST, RICS
“Over the past 12 months, Portugal’s labour
market has seen a sustained recovery, with
overall employment levels rising by nearly
2.5%. Stronger employment, along with the
broader improvement across the economy
more generally, appears to be providing crucial
support to continued growth in housing market
activity.”
