"Even when middle-class millionaires invest in traditional luxuries like second homes, jets, or yachts, they prefer fractional ownership. They're looking for ownership to be converted into a relationship rather than an asset they have to take care of. Their primary luxuries are time and attention."

Lewis Schiff , Advanced Planning Group

"Fractional ownership is quickly becoming a mainstream way of living and is emerging as one of this decade’s major paradigms in consumer behavior."

Daniel Nissanoff, author Futureshop.

Convergence in the Fractional marketplace

One of the projected trends for the Fractional Future is the growth of companies offering multiple fractional opportunities in one membership package.  The Elite Shares Club (www.elitesharesclub.com) recently announced that it is one of the first such luxury amenity membership clubs. 

ESC provides high-net worth individuals and corporate executives with unlimited access to a portfolio of destination properties, private jet charters and exotic automobiles under a single membership.

An ESC membership will provide total access to destination properties, private jet charters or exotic cars through strategic partnerships with the most reputable vendors and global exchange network under a single membership.

Featured Services include 24/7 reservations, concierge service, an owner property exchange program, membership payment options as well as  transportation to and from selected resort properties amongst others.
