True International Wealth Diversification
International investments are extremely helpful in geographically diversify your wealth. How can you gain access and expertise in these other markets? In most cases not through a US broker. Sure, a few boutique firms specialize in international shares, but to experience the full richness of international markets, an offshore bank account and an independent asset manager based in another geographical region is a huge benefit.
Protection against a sinking Domestic Currency
Over the past decades, the value of the US dollar has declined significantly. The question therefore has to be; how can you protect yourself from the loss in value of your investments? There is an easy, safe, and conservative way – purchasing shares and bonds denominated in foreign currencies such as the ever-strong Swiss franc.
An added Layer of Asset Protection
Many Americans rely on domestic laws and instruments to protect their wealth from frivolous lawsuits. However, there are considerable variations between states, and some states provide little or no protection. In contrast, asset protection laws in countries such as Switzerland are usually enforced without local variations. The bottom line: When someone wants to sue you and discovers that your assets are offshore, they will often pursue an easier target. It is also possible to include an offshore bank account in pre-existing asset protection structures like trusts or LLCs.
Enhanced Privacy
Your wealth, spending habits and almost every other detail of your financial life is under scrutiny in the US. The US is one of the few nations where it is legal for banks and other financial services to disclose information about your accounts without your permission and without probable cause of wrongdoing. However, the army of information brokers, which advertise their ability to uncover assets, will not be able to pry information out of an offshore bank account.
Access to European Private Banks
If you are a US connected person you will probably have some difficulties in finding a private bank that will work directly with you. However, if you go to them through an SEC registered investment advisor they can work with you because they know you are working with a company that knows the rules and regulations when it comes to US persons.
Additionally, independent asset managers often have lower minimum investment sizes than if you were to go to the bank directly. Private banks do not usually onboard clients below US$ 1,000,000 but if you work with an independent asset managers, you can get started with US$ 250,000.
Lastly, independent asset managers tend to receive a more favorable pricing at the bank because they have significant assets there compared to if you, as a single client, would be talking to the bank directly.
