Life is all about living
They say that life is all about living: the continual discovery of a sense of experience, adventure, exhilaration and occasional relaxation. This is what Fractional Life epitomises, particularly if you are the sort of modern, time-poor individual looking to pack as many enjoyable experiences into your business and/or pleasure lifestyle, but only when YOU want it.
Choose from a mouth-watering selection of fractional ownership opportunities, including fractional jets, yachts, supercars and property interests, and you can spread your finances cost-effectively and limit your exposure in the event of a downturn, since you don't own 100% of a single asset.
So what are the pros and cons and how do you choose the fractional ownership options to suit your lifestyle?
Here are a few suggestions...
A share in a fractional jet or helicopter has to be high on anybody's fractional ownership list of desire-great for the upwardly mobile requiring the ultimate in convenience, discreet and exceptional service and a superb way to travel, saving precious time during your business day. It is also a cool way to travel in fractional luxury with the family or for a romantic weekend away.
Alternatively, there are thousands of small aircraft that are owned fractionally and enjoyed by part-owners up in the clouds every week.
There are many operators in the fractional jet and aircraft marketplace and it is important that you choose the best fractional package to suit your needs, be it a small microlight to the latest super-modern jet.
To understand the fractional ownership jet marketplace, please refer to Fractional Life's related article "How Private Aviation Works" and the downloadable PDF "Private Aviation Formats."
Or if the seaways beckon, how about becoming a fractional owner of a boat or yacht to get away from all the hustle and bustle of modern life?
There is something peaceful associated with being on board your own boat or yacht. Have a full crew on hand to make it easy and pander to your every wish, and all you need is a cool breeze blowing against your face with the sun beating down on your bronzed body and nobody else in sight-perfect!
With supercars, you generally have a choice between the tried and tested club format, where you pay for the experience behind the wheel with all of the associated costs removed and 'must-haves,' such as insurance, maintenance and breakdown recovery, included in your fees. Or you can choose the latest true fractional ownership model, whereby the company purchases a supercar on your behalf within a syndicate of usually 4, 6, 8 or 12 individuals. The company then manages the whole fractional ownership, maintenance, running costs and 'time in car' process. Following a pre-defined period, the car is then sold and the remaining proceeds distributed to all of the fractional owners equally.

There is also downloadable PDF content available which will make it easier for you to decide what suits your needs best and a very useful Supercar Club comparison chart.
If you are looking at a bricks and mortar purchase, there is a multitude of options. Choose from the luxurious destination and private residence or property fractional ownership opportunities. Alternatively, if you are after a pied-ŕ-terre and only spend a few nights in the City, then perhaps owning a hotel room with a full rental option makes financial sense?
