Men can make fortunes overnight and lose everything in less time. In 2015, Li Hejun\u2019s record half-hour US$15 billion loss made headlines around the world. Things were made even more interesting with the devaluation of the RMB, among other suspenseful news. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Security becomes of greater concern during such times, and instruments of greater reliability take center-stage. Walton International specializes in this asset class, characterized by long-term, stable growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c2015 is quite an interesting year,\u201d says Gary Tom, Walton International President for Hong Kong and North Asia. \u201cVolatility is running rampant in so many different investment fields and products, from the stock market to currency to commodities. That\u2019s always difficult because investors, during volatile times, typically don\u2019t like to take a lot of action. Fear sort of sets in,\u201d he shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe are always looking for new opportunities. In our business, even in a difficult time for investment markets, people seem to go back to the traditional, safer forms of investments \u2013 what we call hard assets. So it\u2019s been very good for us in terms of growth, as we keep on exploring new opportunities in real estate and real estate development in the United States and in Canada.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Where Fortune Lies <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Developers and investors following the real estate market as well as the China economy have likely observed the year\u2019s dip in the marketplace, along with the change in sentiment regarding China properties, as compared to the positive outlook at the beginning of the decade. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI think a lot of that capital looks for different places. That need and desire for real estate still exists with those types of investors and developers, and we\u2019re starting to see a lot of focus offshore, outside of China.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While the property markets of Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom Breaking Ground WALTON INTERNATIONAL In a time of volatility, GARY TOM illustrates the profound allure of the conservative, pragmatic and fundamental investment approach his company espouses. Gary Tom: \u201cInstability always seems to have people focus back to the traditional models.\u201d draw much interest, the United States has received the most attention, a benefit for Walton, as two thirds of its assets lie there. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely a lot stronger appetite for investors wanting to develop properties in the US.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Land of Opportunity <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Regardless of strategy or approach, Tom firmly believes that US property is essential for investors to get into. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cI think the main reason international money is flowing into US real estate is that people understand what has happened with it over the last ten years. There was the global financial crisis in 2007-08, and even after that a huge correction in the US marketplace. They see the US economy and the housing market recovering. Astute investors or institutions like to buy when the market starts to recover, not when it has peaked, like some other real estate markets have around the world. Valuations are a little bit higher right now. People believe that the valuations in the US, because of the correction, are at a good potential to get into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cYou also have currency, a separate issue in itself. It\u2019s no secret that during volatile times, people still flock to the US dollar. In good or bad economies going up and down, one thing you can\u2019t dispute is that the biggest economy in the world is still the US. Whether it\u2019s in recession or growing, there\u2019s a little bit of safety in terms of its currency, and lately it\u2019s been strengthening,\u201d says Tom. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cYou can look at each market individually. They have their pros and cons. In terms of which one has gone through a major correction and is poised for growth, comparing all markets listed, and if you look at just real estate trends historically \u2013 not even looking at projections but just at what has happened the last 5-10 years \u2013 it\u2019s quite easy to see,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Other territories, on the other hand, have not been tested as America\u2019s has, nor are they as affordable. Quality of life also comes into play and the US in general ranks highly in this category. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Of the hundred thousand acres of land Walton controls, two thirds are in the US, all acquired within the last 8 years. \u201cAs those properties have gone through the recovery and are coming to the point of development, the opportunity for us is to monetize those assets \u2013 basically take them to the development stage, and that\u2019s going to be the biggest growth potential for our company in the next coming 10 years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Courting Asian Investment <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RMB devaluation has somehow helped the company\u2019s recent sales efforts. \u201cIt\u2019s funny how the flight of money follows the perception of where they think the dollar is going to go,\u201d says Tom, as the influx of capital into China has seen some shift in course. This movement strongly hints back to a distinctly Asian character.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAstute investors, who probably have a lot of investable cash, work very quickly. It\u2019s amazing. If you want to get a feel of which way the investment market is going, a few key, high net-worth\u00a0individuals give a very good indication of which way the market is going, in China anyway. One of the things that Asia\u2019s known for is no hesitation, reacting and making decisions quickly. They follow that type of mentality \u2013 being on top of things, not afraid to make decisions. Non-Asian investors in contrast are less transactional, more long-term focused, don\u2019t like to react as quickly to current market conditions, have a longer outlook, and are more portfolio-based.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While seemingly favoring one personality over the other, Walton\u2019s offerings are unlikely to deviate from their core value. \u201cWe don\u2019t change our business model with the investor\u2019s mindset. Our product remains the same. It\u2019s done very well for us and we\u2019ve been quite successful for 23 years. We don\u2019t change our investment to fit the marketplace, although that might be a detriment to us here in Asia, since people like quick, fast investments. Asian investors however love real estate. This affinity with real estate helps us. When people know and believe in something, they\u2019re willing to change their mindset despite what they\u2019re accustomed to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe marketplace has so many different types of products and structuring of investments, but in times of volatility, change, and regulation, people like to flow back to the traditional forms of wealth. What asset class has provided for individuals for hundreds of years? It\u2019s very straightforward: land, real estate. We go back to the feudal system; you had status and wealth if you had land. Those fundamental concepts ring loud and strong today as they had hundreds of years ago. Instability always seems to have people focus back to the traditional models.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Resolute Purpose <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With constant change in investment markets, Gary Tom believes that the best indication of the future is what has recently transpired. A development he has observed is that many larger, more successful pension funds and top performing portfolio managers, not sticking to convention, have begun to incorporate real estate in their planning. Diversification into alternative asset classes is widely endorsed. The Canadian Pension Plan has real estate exposure, and the Yale Endowment Fund takes a diversified approach that has been able to generate stable returns. The Walton International mandate is to provide that integral, critical piece investors need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cThe investment marketplace continues to be as volatile, complicated, tied, interdependent, and globally related as it ever has been. The Walton business model remains the same: to continue to buy land in the path of growth. We take a long-term approach in everything we do. It comes down to the way we conduct and build our business. Land does not move quickly. It\u2019s a very slow but methodical and patient process; one that you can see is proven. That\u2019s the way we approach our business as we continue to move forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For additional information please visit <strong>www.walton.com<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hong Kong\u2019s Business Leaders share market and interest intelligence in the pages of HKMVC 2016<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a time of volatility, GARY TOM illustrates the profound allure of the conservative, pragmatic and fundamental investment approach his company espouses.
