OFFSHORE INVESTING MYTHS EXPOSED!
-
'Many offshore investments are illegal.' ......Fact: No Australian laws prohibit any offshore investments, although most are taxable and must be reported to the ATO.
-
'I'm not rich, so I can't benefit from offshore investments.' ........Fact: You can open an offshore bank account for as little as US$15,000, with easy access to vast investment opportunities, including foreign stocks, bonds and CDs.
-
'I'll be audited by the ATO if I invest offshore.' ........Fact: The great majority of ATO investigations of offshore investors are aimed at those who fail to report offshore accounts and profits, not those that do.
-
'Australian investments are safer than offshore investments'. .........Fact: Many international markets are safer than Australia, in fact most of them! Example: The Swiss insurance industry has never experienced a business failure in its 140 year history. Just look what happened to HIH and nearly happened to GIO.
-
'It's more expensive to invest offshore.' .........Fact: Many offshore investments are much better cost deals than their Australian counterparts. Example: Purchase foreign currency CDs outside Australia, and you receive higher interest rates and pay lower fees.
-
'All the investments I want are in Australia.' .........Fact: Over 97% of global financial activity takes place outside Australia. Offshore markets are essential to diversify investments internationally.
-
'There are no longer any privacy advantages to offshore investing.' .............Fact: You must report and pay taxes on most offshore investments, but assets outside Australia disappear from the domestic 'radar screen and from business competitors, sue happy lawyers and identity thieves etc.
-
The fact is, international investing is safer and more profitable than ever, and it's perfectly legal for you to 'go offshore.'
Advantages of Offshore Investment
Many people are told that investing offshore is risky and that if we do invest outside of our country, we’ll lose all our money. Well, this is ridiculous in the extreme. You can lose your money in a scam at home just as easily as overseas. I don’t think investing in shares in London, New York or Frankfurt is any more risky than in Sydney. The only thing that should matter to you is, “where can I get the best return?” Don’t let them fool you into thinking, Offshore = Bad…. Onshore = Good. This is a fallacy and it’s only put out there to keep you “under control”.
Tax
Now, 99% of people are honest hardworking citizens who don’t break the law. I include myself in this group. I, like the rest of the 99%, like to sleep at night. This means I pay tax (too much, in my opinion, but that’s another story) but not more than the law requires me to. I just pay my tax according to the government’s rules, as you should. While there are substantial tax savings that can be made by utilising tax laws in relation to offshore investment, this should not be your sole purpose for investing offshore..... The sole purpose should be to increase your returns and increase your wealth.... Simple as that!
Maximise Income
There are only 3 questions you should ask yourself (in order):
· Where is the best return?
· Is the risk of investment in my comfort zone?
· What can I do to legally maximise my net return after tax?
To answer these questions you need knowledge and information. However, it’s sometimes not that easy to find the best returns and at the same time make sure that the risk of investment is under control.
Some people have pointed out they have found better returns than I talk about in my High Yield Books, and they are sometimes correct, but on further investigation, I find the investments they are talking about carry a higher degree of risk or volatility than I would be comfortable telling my readers about.
Sometimes the investments may have had some short term success but clearly the chances of them repeating that performance aren’t great either. So again I have to be careful about putting them in the books.
Risk is a very personal issue, where “return” is not. Everybody wants a good return, not everybody is prepared for the risk involved.
Rock Solid Returns
For example, if you were looking for an investment that gives you consistent double-digit returns with minimal risk? Look no further than the Momentum Assetmaster Fund, a London-based hedge fund launched in 1991 that has never experienced an annual loss and has averaged an incredible 12.54% per year since inception. Or how about a “rocket ship” like Cuttyhunk Fund Ltd., launched in 1997? It’s never had a down year and returned an incredible 21% annualised. These are types of investments that are available offshore and I write about in my books. They are well suited to a person who wants high returns, but has a low risk profile. Try and find an ‘Onshore” fund with records as consistent and safe as these two funds….. Good luck!
What about an investment like Gresham House Investment Trust, the world’s top-performing investment company, up an amazing 1,812% since 1996. But chances are, your broker will never tell you about Gresham House, not to mention more than 50,000 other offshore funds, plus hundreds of thousands of foreign companies.
Thousands of safe, top quality investments, with amazing returns, but alas you will never know about them, because the government simply doesn’t want you to know them because they lose control of your money. There is only one person you can ever trust with your money…..YOU!
One of the other major benefits of offshore investing, is asset protection. Often overlooked as a real benefit, until something goes wrong. I’m always getting emails and letters from people who want asset protection put in place retrospectively….. Sorry not possible, without breaking the law, and even if you did, the courts would simply reverse whatever you did and then possibly jail you. So, putting things in place first is vital.
There is an investment that offers ironclad asset protection, the “Swiss annuity” . It is synonymous with “asset protection.” Under Swiss law, creditors can’t attach interests in an insurance policy. And, if you name your spouse as beneficiary, or name another beneficiary irrevocably, if there is a claim against you as the policy owner, under Swiss law, the beneficiaries become the new legal owners of the annuity. Furthermore, it’s perfectly legal for your self managed super fund to purchase a Swiss annuity.
However, the primary asset protection tool is the “offshore structure”. This is simply an offshore company or trust set up to administer your assets and investments. It’s been ideal for many years and absolutely nothing has changed as to its viability in this regard. There have been a lot of changes in the offshore world, but asset protection its still functioning extremely well and will do so indefinitely.
Other Advantages
Of course there are many more advantages to offshore investing such as tax planning, estate planning etc that are beyond the scope (and space allowances) of this article. But needless to say, Offshore Investing should be part of your wealth creation plan, coupled with investments at home such as local shares and property. I’m not telling you for a minute that you should put everything offshore. That is normally more than most people would be comfortable doing to start off with, but certainly having some exposure to offshore investments is an intelligent way to go, and also profitable.
