It’s a commonly held misconception that the better performing, higher returning offshore investment opportunities are at best elusive and at worst only available to those in the know, i.e., the likes of investment brokers, financial advisers and high net worth individuals for example.
But you know what? That is absolutely not the case! These investment opportunities are actually freely available to the likes of you and me as well.
So - the best offshore investment opportunities are open to us, but we have to know where to find them right?
Right! And this article will guide you towards finding and securing the best investments to suit your financial goals.
Where to start your search…
If you want to get the most attractive financial products offering the best deals with the lowest charges, the larger offshore independent financial brokerages may prove your best starting point.
Why?
Because these companies advise so many investors globally and create so much new business for the main fund houses and financial institutions, they actually build up close and solid professional relationships with the main fund houses.
As a result they benefit from: -
- reduced initial fees
- lower ongoing management charges
And the best brokerages even get to design unique and tailored investment products to suit their clients’ needs.
Naturally enough all these savings and benefits are passed directly on to you as their client.
But why not go directly to the financial institutions?
Well, in many cases you can’t go directly.
A lot of institutions only make their products available to the main brokers and advisers because: -
- they manage funds, they don’t sell them
- this reduces their costs and their staffing overheads which in turn makes their financial products better value in terms of fees and charges, and potentially better returning as more of your money is ploughed into the investment rather than into meeting staffing costs.
If you find a fund house who’ll take your business directly you’ll find that the fee and charge discounts mentioned above are generally not available to you, and they’re certainly not available to you at the levels they are to the larger offshore brokerages.
Furthermore, these fee and charge discounts are unlikely to be available at the same levels if you instruct an individual independent adviser or small firm of financial advisers either, and they will certainly not be in a position to dictate financial product structure or suggest new investment opportunities be created for their clients!
