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.

There is a great deal of helpful material on investment funds in investorsoffshore, and for that matter on our other sites as well, so here are some links to relevant parts of our own and other sites, listed below under various subject headings:
