Have you ever considered investing in the Cayman Islands? With its beautiful beaches and friendly people, Cayman is not only an attractive tourist destination but also a great place to invest. The Cayman Islands is a British overseas territory with political stability. This tax neutral jurisdiction offers investors from around the world some excellent tax and estate planning opportunities, asset protection and confidentiality. This small Island in the Caribbean is the fifth largest financial centre in the world with a world class workforce.
When investing offshore, it is important to deal with a financial institution that is knowledgeable about local laws and has access to global financial markets, giving the customer a wide range of investment opportunities globally with added service and advice for those unfamiliar with offshore or onshore investing.
The Cayman Islands offers you the opportunity to invest your money in a global portfolio. You might consider international mutual funds, listed Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), or investing directly on foreign stock exchanges.
International mutual funds are an excellent vehicle for investing in international markets. These funds provide access to both equity and fixed income investments presented in a diversified fashion managed by experienced professionals.
There are a variety of listed ETFs that offer index exposure to a variety of countries. Each index series represents shares in an underlying portfolio of common stocks in a particular country. These products are denominated in U.S. dollars, trade like equity securities, and offer many advantages to individual investors. They are an easy and affordable way to gain exposure to a specific country’s broad market index.
Since there is such a wide range of investment choices, it is very important that you start by choosing the right financial advisor. Someone who understands your goals, time horizon, and comfort level with risk; so that they can offer solutions that are as individual as the investor.
Most importantly, ensure that you as the investor understand what you are investing in, what your options are, what fees are associated with your investment and have a clear understanding as to where you want to be financially in 5-10-20 years from now.
