Last year, the Marina Bay Sands and SkyPark opened in Singapore. The new luxury casino and five-star hotel adds a very distinctive look to the Singapore skyline. Its boat-shaped “park in the sky” is one of the most unique designs I’ve seen in my East Asian travels and a reported 70,000 jaws drop in wonder each day as visitors view the structure for the first time. I encourage you to check out any one of the amateur videos on youtube.com of one spectacular feature–its infinity pool at the very top of the building from which one can view the city.
The Marina Bay Sands and SkyPark is featured on the cover of our latest Shareholder Report, and is a visual reminder of the growing role emerging markets play in economic growth. Our team discusses various factors from Brazil to China to Eastern Europe that are contributing to growth, including steadily rising oil demand and increasing numbers of middle and affluent classes. This is where I see numerous opportunities for today’s international investor.
There are also compelling values at home in the U.S. In my Shareholder Report letter, I showcase how the companies in the S&P 500 Index are currently paying a higher yield than the 10-year Treasury. This means a shareholder can get paid dividend income along with receiving potential appreciation.
