A GLIMPSE INTO CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT INDUSTRY

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 (Bernama) -- The world’s most definitive guide on citizenship by investment, the CBI Index, was published by PWM Magazine, a publication from The Financial Times in collaboration with CS Global Partners.

The CBI Index is a rating system designed to measure the performance and appeal of global citizenship by investment (CBI) programmes across a diverse range of indicators.

This Index is intended as a practical tool, both for those who wish to compare CBI programmes as a whole and for those who wish to compare specific aspects of each programme, according to a CS Global Partners statement.

Its purpose is to provide a rigorous and systematic mechanism for appraising programmes, to facilitate the decision-making process for individuals considering them, and to bring value to the CBI industry.

The CBI Index rates programmes according to these nine pillars: freedom of movement, standard of living, minimum investment outlay, mandatory travel or residence, citizenship timeline, ease of processing, due diligence, family and certainty of product.

As the CBI industry undergoes its own challenges and metamorphosis, the CBI Index gives worldly investors a reliable analysis of reputable programmes that will enable them to choose second citizenship in destinations that will fulfil their needs.
