Introduction
to the Types of Alternative Investment
The
four types of offshore investment covered in this
section can obviously overlap, but they correspond
to some extent to four types of investor. Here
they are described without too much reference
to investor type: see The
InvestorsOffshore.com
DIY Investment Selector
for information regarding the types of investment
that are suitable for different investor profiles
according to residential situation.
Each
section contains information about investment
characteristics, details of how to invest, and
links to investment providers.
Generally
speaking, this section is addressed to individuals
with disposable wealth of between $100,000 and
$5m. Within this range, it is likely that an individual
will take a keen personal interest in the investment
process, but will work to some extent in partnership
with advisers of one stripe or another. Below
$100,000, it is less likely that offshore investment
is the right way to go, and the overhead associated
with outside personal attention is probably too
great to give the best result, while above $5m,
it's likely that professional advisers will come
to play the major role, with the individual taking
more of a back seat. Of course, these are just
generalisations.
