Regulations Affecting The Advertising And Sale Of Investments

In a number of countries there are regulations which seek to control the sale and advertising of investment products and services. Such regulations are intended to limit the risk of domestic investors, and often do not apply to wealthier or professional clients, who are assumed to have a greater knowledge of risk or are more able to suffer loss. The regulations usually operate by way of imposing an authorisation requirement on investment providers; advertisements can then be placed only after authorisation has been given.

This site being fully global and international, aimed at all nationalities and circumstances we cannot unfortunately cater individually or specifically for every situation. As a visitor to this site we advise you to establish the position in your home country. If rules are such that unauthorised advertisements may not be circulated in your country, please do not proceed any further on this site.

As a general rule, whether offshore or not, investments can be very rewarding but are also often a minefield of risks and regulations. Always remember that money laundering and tax evasion are criminal offences. Tax-efficient investment is possible and challenging, but never take undue risks with your hard-earned savings; through greed or bad advice you could end up losing much more than you gain.
