Exploring Graceland: Elvis Presley's final resting place

Seeking a refuge from over-eager fans and the pressures of fame, a 22-year-old Elvis Presley bought the Graceland estate in 1957 for $102,500.

Forty-five years after his death, the property in Memphis, Tennessee, remains a site of pilgrimage for “the king’s" many fans, as well as a tourist attraction in its own right. And as Baz Luhrmann's biopic Elvis, starring Austin Butler, hits cinemas, a new wave of fans will create a renewed interest in his life.

Presley was originally buried next to his mother at Memphis Forest Hill Cemetery, but his body was moved back to Graceland after an attempt was made to steal his coffin and hold the remains the ransom.

Visitors can explore the various facets of Graceland Mansion, as well as the on-site entertainment complex. They can choose to take an interactive iPad tour hosted by John Stamos and featuring commentary and stories by Presley and his daughter Lisa Marie Presley.

Accessible to the public are the living room, Presley’s parents’ bedroom, the kitchen, TV room, pool room, Jungle Room, his father’s office, the newly enhanced trophy building, the racquetball building, which has been restored to how it looked in 1977, and the Meditation Garden.

Presley's master suite on the second floor of the property remains off limits. After the home was opened to the public in 1982, the second floor was sealed shut out of respect to the family and also to avoid too much attention being placed on the singer’s death.

Fans can also see Presley’s career brought to life through the hundreds of artefacts and photos in Graceland Archives, including his amazing collection of gold and platinum records, his jumpsuits and memorabilia from his movies.

The singer's favourite cars, including his pink Cadillac, Stutz Blackhawk, 1956 Cadillac Eldorado, Dino Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz limousine and Rolls Royce sedans are also on show, alongside his customised airplanes. These include the Lisa Marie, which has a living room, conference room, private bedroom, gold-plated seatbelts, leather-covered tables, and 24-karat gold-flecked sinks.

A series of exhibits, including a new one focusing on Presley’s love of football, provide further insight in the rock ’n’ roll star’s psyche, while new interactive experiences include the “Elvis Yourself” Virtual Dress-Up Experience, and Elvis: Front Row — An Immersive Concert Experience.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.

Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.

“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.

Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.

From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.

Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.

BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.

Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.

Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.

“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.

“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.

“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”
