Principal Bankers - Coutts Channel Islands, Jersey

Accountants -  Grant Thornton, Grand Cayman

How many Units are available in the Bravo Fund?

There are 40 Units in total. 


Destinations

How were the countries chosen?

The Countries were chosen, after significant research, partly to give the Owners a mix of spring, summer, autumn and winter sunshine, plus top-class skiing and golf, but mainly with an eye to the greatest likelihood of increases to property values over the life of the fund.

What happens if I don’t like one of the countries?

It can happen!  There is no requirement to go to every property during the lifetime of the Bravo Fund – you may find that you have a favourite location that you go back to more often than the others – it is your choice.

The Properties

What services are provided?

The cost of all utilities are included along with a Housekeeper/Cook who will be available to you during your stay, maid service as required and a Gardener/pool person.

Do you have babysitters / nannies / chefs etc.?

Babysitters / Nannies / chefs etc. will be available to book at extra cost.  You may also wish to book other services such as car hire, transfers from the airport through Rocksure Property ltd.

What is the Average value of the properties?

The average value of the properties will be around £1 Million.

How can I be sure that the properties are up to the standard described?

The Value of the properties is an indication of the standard and the photographs and descriptions on the web site are all of properties purchased by the Rocksure Property Alpha Fund with an average value of £800,000.

Will the Properties remain the same during the life of the Bravo Fund?

The Properties are likely to remain the same during the life of the Bravo Fund but there may be an instance where it makes financial sense to sell a property (for example if an outstanding offer is received for a particular property).  In that case, another similar property would be purchased in the same location.

Booking

How many weeks do I get at the properties?

Each Investor holding 1 Unit will receive an average of up to 4 weeks at the properties – this is made up of an average of 2 High season weeks  and 2 Mid season weeks.

How do I book my weeks?

There will be a web site which will allow you to book your weeks and see the availability at each of the properties.  Because the properties are likely to vary in value and rental worth, each Investor will receive "Rocksure Pounds" equivalent to the average rental value of the properties of 2 High Season Weeks and 2 Mid season weeks.  This will mean that should you wish to stay at a cheaper property (in Brazil, say), you will be able to have more weeks there compared to a more expensive property.

What happens if I don’t have enough "Rocksure Pounds" for my selected week(s)?

Further "Rocksure Pounds" can be purchased and the revenue goes directly into the Property Fund.

Can I give a week to friends or family?

Yes, there are no restrictions on who you give your week(s) to.  You do, however, retain the responsibility for any damage caused to the property during the period that your friends/family are in residence.

Can I rent out a week at a property commercially?

Yes, although we do ask that you rent the week(s) through us so that we can ensure the proper legal agreements, deposits etc. are in place.

Can I go for less than a week?

Most properties are structured on a weekly basis.  You can go for less than a week but the number of "Rocksure Pounds" would be the same as a whole week.

Why are some of the weeks rented out?

Some of the weeks at the properties are rented to help cover the costs of staffing, utilities, annual maintenance and taxes.

How early can I book my weeks?

The investors will have priority in booking weeks at the properties and this will be available up to a year ahead.

What happens if the week I want is not available?

It may happen that another Investor has booked a week at a particular property that you want but the total number of weeks allocated to the Investors represents only 51% of the total weeks at the properties, so there should be plenty of available space – there is a priority system for peak and high seasons weeks for bookings between 1 year and 9 months out, to ensure fairness between investors.

What happens if for some reason, I can’t take all the weeks at the property?

Your entitlement can be rolled forward to the following year and can be used for low, and mid seasons. In instances of force majeure (where travel to a particular destination(s) is severely curtailed) when this would have to be reviewed.

Charges

Are there any yearly charges?

There is a small annual management and maintenance charge to help cover the costs of running the properties: This is £1,800 per unit in 2009, but it is linked to the success of the rental programme – there could be a small adjustment, up or down.

Are there any extra charges?

No other charges are anticipated during the lifetime of the Bravo Fund.

What responsibilities do I have regarding the properties?

The beauty of the concept is that Rocksure Property Ltd. has the responsibility for looking after the properties including all staffing, annual maintenance and utilities.  All you need to do is sit back and enjoy your properties.
