Anchoring Plays: Real assets that build cash flow and jurisdiction leverage Some real assets act as both income engines and “anchors” via relationships, operational optionality, and presence.
A logistics warehouse near a port looks boring next to venture returns. Then import congestion spikes and tenants sign longer leases. The asset becomes both cash flow and local access.
The idea is not romantic land ownership. It is anchor utility.
Anchoring assets work when they sit on durable demand drivers: urbanization, trade corridors, cold chain needs, and food import gaps. FX and transferability still dominate realized returns, so structure matters as much as location. AREAER remains a directional map for conversion and repatriation rules.

Structures that reduce fragility
These are not “set and forget.” They are operating assets. Underwrite operator quality, tenant credit, and the realistic buyer universe in 5–10 years.
Start with local counsel and an operator diligence process, then build a conservative FX plan for distributions.
“Anchors work when they make you more resilient locally, not when they make you more exposed.”
