Although UK and US platforms are now decently priced this hasn’t necessarily translated to the international investment platform. Some are still mired in the opaque, murky charging structures of the past. Others flout local regulatory laws from far flung offshore jurisdictions and simply see offshore investment platforms as an opportunity to help financial salespeople aggregate all the assets of their expat clients into a single place and revenue stream.
One size doesn’t fit all and choosing which international investment platform can make a pivotal difference in the outcome you receive.
Some offshore investment platforms discriminate against expatriates living in certain countries, some are suitable for DIY investors whilst others suit advised clients. Some are sophisticated and for wealthier, experienced or institutional clients, some are best for the mainstream expat investor.
Choosing the best offshore investment platform isn’t just down to which is the cheapest or the most expensive, but the one that will best enable you to reach your personal goals. You need to ensure your account is located in a stable and well regulated jurisdiction and that you won’t be subject to unnecessary taxes.
