# Understanding Fractional Ownership at The Crane
Barbados continues to be a destination of choice for many travellers and investors seeking an opportunity to diversify their portfolios. The Crane Residential Resort offers ownership opportunities through its Fractional Ownership programme.
**What is Fractional Ownership?**
This is simply the ability to purchase shares in a valuable asset. In this context the shares would be represented by weeks and the valuable asset, the splendidly appointed Residences at The Crane.
Each fraction entitles the owner to a fixed ownership of specific weeks in a specific residence every year in perpetuity.
**What are some of the Benefits of Fractional Ownership?**
At the Crane, we have designed our program based on the seven key principles identified below:
1. The World’s Premier Fractional Resort
2. Security of Investment
3. Exceptional Purchase Value
4. Ultimate Flexibility for Vacation Use
5. Ongoing Cost Efficiencies
6. Proven Rental Pool Revenue
7. Real Capital Appreciation
**Contact Information**
For more information, please contact our Property Sales office and speak with one of our Ownership Representatives who will be more than happy to discuss our ownership opportunities and any questions you may have.
Telephone: (246) 423-6220 Email: [property@thecrane.com](https://blog.thecrane.com/blog/2012/04/19/understanding-fractional-ownership-at-the-crane)
