Equity Investment In 2010:
Not Just For Expats...
Under this particular heading of equity investment
we will deal with direct, personal investment into
publicly-quoted equities, other than through conventional
stock exchanges, whether from an onshore or offshore
base, and whether by an individual, or through a
corporate vehicle or a trust. We will cover direct
equity purchase through a dealer, spread betting,
contracts for differences, and hedge funds insofar
as they specialize in very directed equity investment...
