Offshore Investment Guide

Hi ,

The offshore tax haven landscape continues to change rapidly, global financial markets are hyper-volatile and fear of black swans has people on edge. It's now, more than ever, important to know the truth about asset protection. It doesn't need to be complicated, it needs to work.

We are helping people, from all countries, understand the best practice. Allow us to enlighten you, about the regulator asset protection structure.

Global Retirement Planning

Regulator Asset Protection Structure

The 402(b) Foreign Retirement Plan can also be used for tax deferral and, among other benefits, as a foreign asset protection and privacy structure. Our experience explaining the attributes of this IRS recognized Internal Revenue Code (402(b) Foreign Retirement Plan), has taught us that there is a vast gap, or lack, of knowledge when requesting legal opinion of this financial planning structure.

To help expose the fallacy of asset protection, in structures commonly sold by today's lawyers and offshore advisors, we have formulated a test to determine the level of knowledge a particular tax consultant or law firm.

The ''Acid Test'' is to look at the points listed in the following comparison chart. Then ask them in regards to Trusts and Insurance if our analysis is correct? If he passes that test with a score of 100% then he has the legal resource to understand our structure.

The fallacy of asset protection

Asset Protection Comparison

The winner is an IRC 402(b) Foreign Retirement Plan which requires reporting of only Foreign Bank Account Report to the Treasury(actual value) and on IRS Form 8938 its value is reported as''Zero Value'' because it is IRS recognized tax deferred.

The Alternatives of Global Retirement Planning with a Regulator Asset Protection Structure

  • The Alternative to Irrevocable Trusts. In fact, this Alternative has NO Attorney Fees
  • The Alternative to LLC, IBC and Foundations and Again No Attorney Fees
  • The Alternatives to Annuities - No Insurance Company fees!
  • The Alternatives to Litigation - Never in front of a Judge or Judgement
  • The Alternative to 184 page Tax Filings - You can do this filing in less than 10 minutes.
  • The Alternative to a Tax Consultant - No Need.
  • The Alternative to the S.E.C. . Why not!
  • The Alternative to Forced Heirship - You are the Controller!

The Basics of International Retirement Planning

First, we determine which is the best legal framework in the whole world and we do not assume that because you have a company registered in one jurisdiction that it would be that country's law applying to the retirement fund and why should we, because it is not logical to have the legal framework of your retirement plan coinciding with the place where the company is registered, it sounds logical but actually in the future, modern world it is not. Because to chose the legal framework on the basis of your company registration would be constraining you and automatically the law on pensions and retirement plans is radically different than the law on corporations and trading, of course it is different and therefore we do not make this assumption when recommending a particular country plan.

Second, it is also imperative to look at where is the best place for your custodian. U.S. Centric people would make an assumption automatically, which explains how illogical some peoples thinking is, that if you have a foreign retirement plan in USD that naturally the custodian will be in New York. The legal framework should be one thing, the custodian another. There is nothing wrong with having the custodian in New York but the point is that one needs to think about where one wants to have that custodian in the first place. And can that custodian do the best job? While you can have a 402(b) foreign plan with a foreign custodian, you can also have a custodian in the USA.

The Third consideration is actually the whole point behind a foreign retirement fund which is to allow you to accumulate your deferred income clear of taxation because it turbo-charges your funds future value. Tax utilization for gain is the whole point and purpose of all retirement plans in perpetuity. This is a win/win because you pay more total tax in the future and your net amount gain is higher than if you had paid tax annually. This structure is designed to last and therefore is the future of retirement law- where is best, who has the money and has turbo-charge its growth by means of tax deferral.

An ''International Retirement Plan'' may help solve the challenges of these globally mobile employees. Of course, due to the absence of fiscal incentives and sometimes even the ability to deduct contributions, these plans may be more expensive than local supplemental plans. Therefore it is important to clearly define the target group and to lay out a consistent retirement strategy for your mobile employees.

How we can help you protect your assets

  2. An introductory dialogue with an Adviser in a basic proposition management context to determine if, how, and when the product may fit in with your individual criteria. Every person is unique and this dialog may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
  3. Once a practical case for the product (in other words, the "proof of concept") has been established, the formal dialogue between the counsel on the product side and the client will be initiated and will include all due diligence and references easily verified by Government Regulatory Agencies and Recognized by the Internal Revenue Service, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, Tax Information Exchange Agreement, and Double Tax Treaty.
