The Bahamas Investor – January 2010 Press release
BAHAMAS INVESTOR JANUARY 2010 HIGHLIGHTS THE BENEFITS OF ISLAND LIVING
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Nassau, January 1, 2010) – Bright spots might be emerging on the horizon, but these are still pensive times in the global economic arena. During such periods, keeping a competitive edge is vital and the new issue of The Bahamas Investor magazine, published this month, takes a look at some of the qualities that help maintain The Bahamas’ position as a premier destination for professionals and high-net-worth individuals to live, work and invest.

Since its debut in January 2006, The Bahamas Investor has become the pre-eminent news and information resource for The Bahamas. Published biannually, the magazine contains in-depth features, interviews and analysis related to the jurisdiction’s vibrant financial services and business sectors.

The lead story in the new issue follows the journeys of two financial services professionals who have taken the decision to move both their businesses and their personal lives to the sun-kissed beaches of The Bahamas. Fleeing from the chilly Swiss winters and hectic urban life of Sao Paulo, respectively, they and their families have built new lives here, enjoying not only the fantastic climate and pristine beaches, but also the low taxes and excellent business environment.

The cover story follows the career of another high-flying professional who has chosen the island lifestyle. Attracted not only by the business opportunities but also the quality of life for her family, Templeton Global Advisors president Cindy Sweeting moved to The Bahamas in 1980 and now handles around $45 billion worth of the company’s assets out of its Nassau office. The subject of this issue’s Executive Focus, Sweeting is proof that, in The Bahamas, a demanding career can be balanced with a fulfilling family life.

Those seeking to join Sweeting in paradise need look no further than the Lyford Cay residential community for exclusive, luxury island living. The high-end residency is the focus of this issue’s Lifestyle section and has everything from a well-serviced marina to a vibrant social life.
