You want the luxury of variety—access to beautiful homes all over the world—but you’re also a savvy investor. There are a surprising (and sometimes confusing) number of choices when deciding on a vacation real estate and/or lifestyle investment.
Each option has advantages and disadvantages. Equity fund ownership, for example, offers many of the same lifestyle benefits as destination clubs. But equity funds can be more investment-oriented than destination clubs and provide their shareholders ownership of their residence portfolios. Download our guide to luxury vacation home options to help you determine which real estate investment is right for you.

Equity Residences structures its funds to be a financial investment, while also providing the lifestyle benefits offered by many other equity funds and vacation home categories. Our funds have a 10-year liquidation horizon. At the end of that period, the fund residences are sold and the proceeds, including significant anticipated appreciation, are distributed to our investors. Your money goes to work as soon as you invest, and you go on incredible vacations with the people you love. Equity Residences Funds:
