Published by Etienne Dupuch Jr Publications Ltd, The Bahamas Investor is a biannual
magazine with a controlled circulation serving the informational needs of foreign
investors and wealth management practitioners worldwide. Since its debut in January
2006, The Bahamas Investor has established itself as the pre-eminent news and
information resource on living, investing and transacting business in The Bahamas.
Each issue presents stories about international and local business figures who are
realizing their entrepreneurial dreams in The Bahamas, as well as key issues and
trends facing today's investment world.

Here are some of the articles in this issue of The Bahamas Investor:

. For working women in The Bahamas, the glass ceiling is finally cracking. Senior
women executives are chipping away at perceived limitations in an industry once
dominated by men. In this issue, The Bahamas Investor presents stories of four
prominent Bahamian women - Patricia Hermanns, Family Guardian president and CEO;
Margaret A Butler, Citigroup country officer; Suzanne Black, managing director of
Black & Associates Ltd; and Maria Ferere, president and director of FT Consultants
Ltd.

. Everyone loves The Bahamas, but many do not know all of the reasons why it is the
perfect place to live, work and invest. Simon Townend, partner at the Nassau arm of
KPMG, offers a compelling case why The Bahamas is even better than you think-for
both business and pleasure.

. With an unusually high concentration of ultra-high-net-worth individuals among its
inhabitants, Latin America may well become the world's next hot investment market.
After witnessing a decade of comparatively stable growth in their respective
countries, Latin American investors are now seeking a safe haven for their
assets-and finding it in The Bahamas.

. The advantages of philanthropy are many, but managing these efforts can be
challenging. Christian Coquoz, of Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch Private Bank & Trust,
explains the rules governing charitable trusts and why The Bahamas, a common-law
jurisdiction, is a perfect location to set up and manage philanthropic operations.

All of this, plus an update of the magazine's acclaimed Investor's Resource Guide is
now available. This section provides specific information on topics such as setting
up trusts, starting a business, offshore investment products and the rules governing
residency. Visit The Bahamas Investor online at www.thebahamasinvestor.com for an
