In these turbulent times of volatile but highly correlated markets, sophisticated investors need as much genuine diversification in their investment portfolios as possible.

Emerging Market Property (EMP), which is affiliated with City Trading Post, brings to investors some of the most exciting, dynamic, and potentially profitable 'alternative' real estate investment opportunities in the world today.  More wealth has been created by investment in land and property than any other asset class ever.

Croatia is on a formal path towards EU accession, is politically stable, and is enjoying healthy economic growth of around 5.5% per year. Tourist visitor numbers are increasing rapidly thanks to the beautiful environment and comfortable climate. The property market has been growing steadily for the last few years, thanks to increasing demand from Croatians as well as foreign investors. Further growth is expected over the next few years, in spite of current global macroeconomic concerns.
