INVESTMENT COMPANIES

Offshore companies are popular vehicles for corporations and individuals to hold investment, including bonds, equities, cash, precious metals, and so on. Offshore investment companies may be set up for a third party or personal stock trading and/or to invest in managed funds.

High net worth individuals also often use offshore investment companies to hold portfolios in different markets and currencies. In addition to tax minimization, the use of offshore investment structures provides privacy and asset protection as well as portfolio diversification and lowered risk.
