Money needs a safe haven to grow, with a geographic location
accessible to numerous key markets, a multitude of mixed races and cultures, a
long history of peaceful political change, cheap energy, strong banking laws,
highly skilled work force, a fair tax regime and a free market floating currency
exchange system (TT$6.5 - US$1). Trinidad & Tobago, in the Caribbean, is a small
corner with a very maneuverable economy that offers both Asset Protection and Competitive
Returns on Investment.
