Landau Securities is a brokerage service specialising in offshore mutual funds with an emphasis on alternative investments and emerging markets. Our main priority is to find our clients the best mutual funds the world has to offer. We believe that most people don’t have the time or desire to learn about individual companies around the world, preferring instead to invest their money with qualified mutual fund managers with proven track records. This way you can get the best returns available for your money without having to continually monitor your investment.

OFFSHORE FUNDS & INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CENTRES (TAX HAVENS)

Most of the mutual funds we use are classed as offshore funds. This means that they are set up in International Finance Centres, which are an integral part of global investing. Many countries set up as International Finance centres did so because they had very little infrastructure or industry that could have been utilised to support the country. These countries generally have exceptional privacy laws and in many cases are home to some of the world’s best known banks.

You will find ANZ and Westpac branches in Vanuatu , while in the Bahamas , in excess of 600 banks are incorporated there. Many companies, private and government run, are seeing the benefits of incorporating within an International Finance Centre. Australia ’s telecommunications giant Telstra has an administration company incorporated in Bermuda that it has 51 per cent control of.
