Offshore Bonds and the Professional Expatriate

Improving your own situation with investment portfolios is tricky if you don’t know where to start, and if you’re the sort of person that moves about a fair bit, particularly from country to country, you may be interested to know that there is an investment solution for you that doesn’t give rise to complications when you move on to another country. Offshore bonds. 

But wait a minute, you say, is that legal? Obviously no ethical minded person wants to invest in a tax evading scheme, but you don’t need to worry about that; investing in offshore bonds isn’t about shady investments; it’s about creating a broader geographical accessibility for your investments. 

So your investments will follow you wherever you go? Pretty much. But that isn’t the only benefit of investing in offshore bonds. You’ll often find that your options are much more varied when it comes to offshore bonds because they aren’t nationally centric. So if you have a particular type of company you’d like to invest in, or you’d like to avoid investing in, a financial advisor, like those from Churchill & Partners, should be able to provide positive or negative screening in order to target or eliminate a suitable company for your investments.

But why do people initially choose to place their investments in an offshore bond? Offshore bonds actually provide a lot of security to the investor, and on top of that, they don’t accrue tax because they aren’t considered income. 

So what kind of things do people put offshore? Offshore investment bonds are wrappers that can hold a variety of different investment funds and because the wrapper is based offshore, the range of funds you have to choose from include anything from guaranteed return funds to government and corporate bonds.

Ultimately, investing in offshore bonds is a highly complex and complicated financial specialism of which financial advisors often have specific expertise in. So if you’re an expatriate of the UK you may be interested in improving your investment portfolio, and companies like Churchill and Partners can help you with heading in the right direction.
