Offshore investments can be an attractive proposition for investors, particularly if they can expect their marginal rate of tax to fall or have a lump sum of capital.

Utilising the advice offered by offshore investments may also be beneficial for expatriates looking to invest in a country where they are a non-resident, or those investors entitled to an age-related allowance.

There is a wide range of offshore investment opportunities designed for those keen to take advantage of offshore solutions. Whether you have a lump-sum you wish to invest as a one-off, or choose to invest regularly, there are a range of currencies and asset classes that may be appropriate.

These offshore investments are designed to:

• Help spread your risk
• Maximise growth potential
• Enable you to switch between funds
• Give you the possibility of regular and predictable income
• Help reduce personal liability for Income and Capital Gains Taxes
