Squawk Advisors (Relex’s parent company) has finally unveiled its extensive client list of both institutional investment firms and real estate developers during the relaunch of its website.

Squawk Advisors has contractual relationships with institutional investors whose valuations measure in the hundreds of billions (USD) in investable capital, and with multi-billion dollar real estate developers whose projects span the globe.

Squawk Advisors is already beginning to onboard these partners to the Relex Development platform. A number of them have already agreed to work with Relex Development in the future.

As Relex Development will soon launch its FINRA-compliant platform, has established connections with various national governments, and has been adopted by influential real estate developers across the globe, it’s becoming a uniquely situated one-stop FDI solution.

What does Relex Development offer over traditional investment options?

Blockchain provides much needed transparency for investors, as they can track when their funds are being used. Cryptocurrency also makes global fundraising simpler, helping developers progress through a backlog of lucrative projects. And Relex acts as an intermediary continually making the process as easy as possible while maintaining the highest accountability and transparency standards.

After all, foreign direct investment in low-transparency markets has hit a major rut. Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated attributes higher transparency scores with more capital investment.

High transparency markets such as the United States attract investors locally and abroad; for example, Singapore-based GIC has over 30 percent of its investments in the United States, more than any other individual market.

Relex offers a solution that combats this exact transparency problem. It increases transparency scores for developers, and it makes investors more comfortable working with emerging markets.

CEO Keith Hilden, who represents both Squawk Advisors and Relex Development, has already discussed Relex with the clients below, many of whom were receptive to what Relex could offer.

The following list will introduce some of Squawk Advisors’ clients in added detail. The partnerships listed were established between 2014 and early 2017.

As a member of the National One-Stop Services and Investments Organization, Squawk Advisors has played an integral role in successfully implementing new FDI projects, such as Long Hau Corporation’s industrial parks.

While only brief introductions are provided about the institutional investors or developers below, each name represents a rich history of successful business transactions and partnerships.
