Like so many others, I’m working hard to make my financial future as bright as possible. I save when ever possible, and invest smart when I have the money to do so. In my opinion I have a good portfolio built up, I’ve seen gains and small losses over the years, however I am not as far along as I had planned to be by this time. There are a couple of reasons for this, one is the fact that markets go up and down, there is nothing any of us can do about it, the second is the high percentage of tax that is charged on capital gains. I finally got tired of paying the government so much if any at all of my investment gains, so I decided to seek some offshore investment advice.

Anyone who’s been investing for a while has probably heard of individuals moving their funds to foreign markets to avoid capital gains tax. I always figured it was a fantastic idea, how ever I didn’t know the first thing about it. My first step was to talk to my local broker about the idea, of course since he is paid commissions on my account he just attempted to sell me on the idea of keeping my portfolio with him and his brokerage. I was going to have to look else where for the information I needed, so I fired up my favorite search engine and started doing some searches for offshore investment advice.
