At Metropolis Group LLC and all of our affiliate companies, we strongly believe in the pursuit of sustainability.
In your investment strategy, estate planning, tax management, housing and automobile choices, even in your charitable giving, sustainability should be your most important focus into the future.
We work on a model of investment diversification, creating an environment where your equity investments and fixed income products work together, taking into account the history of your managed funds accounts, insurance policies, hedge funds, fund of funds, pensions and retirement accounts, as well as your real estate investment goals. By analyzing your investments from a global perspective and working closely with you, assessing your individual needs in both the short and long term, we can create a sustainable and healthy investment lifestyle for you and your family; Investments you can live with.
Equities
- Micro and Mid-cap stocks with real opportunity for higher than average appreciation and future yields.
- Dividend yielding “Blue Chips” for sustained income with the comfort of historically solid returns.
Fixed income products
Investments such as government, corporate or municipal bonds, preferred stock and guaranteed investment contracts which pay dividends or interest on a programmed schedule offer stability.
Although in some cases it is not guaranteed, most fixed income products promise the return of your principal upon maturity.
The advantage of the fixed income market is predictability. The downside is that these investments will not increase in value, as can often be the case with common stock or real estate, and therefore makes the investment vulnerable to inflation risk.
Fund management through managed accounts
We operate as a fund of funds with regard to your managed accounts. For several years we have been developing strategic partnerships with investment funds that have a history of responsible investing and excellent return on investment.
Tax management and estate planning
We have an excellent team of specialists with years of experience in insurance needs, tax strategy and management, estate planning, setting up of trusts, retirement and inheritance planning.
Real estate investment
We look for reasonable discounts and buying opportunities from the developers that we work with, achieving these discounts through bulk purchasing. We are currently delivering “resort” properties with at least 30% equity upon delivery which allows for various investment strategies; cash flow from rental income, build out and sell, or both. Buying and making use of a resort property while accruing appreciation in value is hands down one of the most enjoyable ways to invest your hard earned money. The markets in which we invest in real estate have a history of 15% annual appreciation. Beginning your investment with 30% equity and a 15% annual increase on average affords you tangible and sustainable returns in a very short period of time.
At Metropolis Group, we believe in profit through sustainable resources as well. We invest in “green companies” where it makes fiscal sense as well as require our developers to use some form of renewable energy or sustainable building technology in every development, thus insuring a higher than average re-sale value.
Some of the renewable energy solutions we work with are:
- Solar power
- Green/ Garden roof
- Smart glass
- Micro-hydro
- Solar hot water
- Natural drainage patterns and rain water catchments
- Indigenous plant landscaping or xeri-scaping
- Low consumption/ energy efficient common area lighting
- Energy star appliances

We offer mortgages in the United States, Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.
