Investors could require the services of a money transfer firm to change their capital into foreign currency if they heed the advice of Standard Life Investments.
The firm has suggested that global real estate could be a wise way to make money, with the commercial market looking positive in the medium term.
It noted that investments in real estate are likely to comfortably beat cash, with the environment of low interest rates and moderate fiscal recovery making such a secure yield more even attractive than usual.
Standard Life head of real estate investment David Paine explained that most international real estate markets have seen some recovery, leading to improvements in tenant demand and occupier confidence.
"Vacancy rates are falling as a result and strong rental growth is being recorded in some of the highly cyclical supply constrained office markets such as Hong Kong, Central London and Paris," he said.
Mr Paine predicted that the supply of good quality new space is likely to remain at low levels in most markets for the foreseeable future, meaning investment is likely to be a wise move.
Meanwhile, Direct FX recently urged investors to look at New Zealand's property market, which it expects to recover soon.
