Investment Funds
Investment funds are of course the bedrock of most pensions
assets, and are popular investment targets in their own right; but those
investors who are able or who choose to explore the offshore dimension
of fund investment, whether from 'onshore' or from 'offshore', have many
extra options.
If direct equity investment is the fastest-growing investment sector,
then fund investment must take the palm for diversity. As with equity
investment, the first decision any fund investor ought to make is where
to base his investments. Probably, few investors actively consider this
question until it's already too late, and the tax damage has been done.
That's understandable if investment begins with a few thousand dollars
or equivalent, almost as a hobby, and gradually builds up. The investment
range we are dealing with here is bigger (from $100,000 to $5m) and forethought
is essential if more than $100,000 is to be put into funds.
