Why Invest Offshore?
Quite simply, investing offshore is prudent, as its where all the action is and where all the big investors play.
Australia has approx 2% of the world’s financial capital. A very small amount when compared to Europe and North America . Australia also has a soft currency compared to the Pound, Euro and US dollar.
So if you were a large fund manager in say, Luxembourg , and wanted to attract investors from various countries to your fund. Would spend US $500,000 registering your prospectus and complying with local laws in Australia or Europe ? In fact would you target Australia or New Zealand as one of your top 5? Of course not.
A large selection of investment opportunities do not arrive in Australia or New Zealand simply because they are so small and insignificant in the investment world.
ASIC expressly prohibits the marketing of any public investment if it is not scrutinised and registered with them. And with very good reason. This does NOT mean all the investments not registered in Australia are dodgy or illegal.
Many of the largest and most lucrative investments opportunities are NOT registered in Australia and therefore not marketed in Australia , simply because it doesn’t make economic sense to the fund managers to do so.
The fund managers cannot approach Australian and New Zealand citizens, but Australian and New Zealand citizens CAN legally approach fund managers

Offshore Offers
- More Freedom and Flexibility - Offshore mutual funds can invest with more freedom and flexibility than their onshore counterparts
- No Tax On Earnings Before Distribution of Profits – This speaks for itself really, mutual funds that are domiciled in jurisdictions that are considered tax havens , allow capital to grow without being taxed. So any returns are being compounded at a higher rate than if the earnings were being taxed onshore.
- Reducing Risks Involved In Investment in Only One Market and/or Currency - Investing onshore means you are tied to the vulnerabilities of the currency in the country your investments are in
- Increase Opportunities to Enhance Returns and Diversify Risk –global diversification = more opportunities for genuine profit. The entire world becomes an opportunity rather than being confined to one region and currency
If I asked you, I’m sure you’d tell me you work hard for your money. So don’t you deserve the best returns you can for that money?
To put it another way; you wouldn’t run an 8-cylinder car on only 5-cylinders would you? The same applies to your savings, why tolerate lack lustre performance when there is a world of opportunity out there. By taking a global approach you are able to have your money work hard regardless of individual market trends, anything less is criminal.
