• Do you worry that your local investments are not performing as well as what you would like them to?

• Are you concerned about not being financially ready to retire comfortably?

• Are you looking for legal investments that can reduce your tax bill and provide you with higher returns?

If you’re like most South African individuals who are entrepreneurs and self-employed, you most likely answered yes to some or all of these questions.

Many investors want to remain living in beautiful South Africa, but they are concerned about the political and economical situation and worry about their savings, inflation, and the weakening rand.

Let me share with you a brief overview of what international/offshore investing is, and more importantly, why YOU should take action and consider this as your main investing strategy to grow and preserve your wealth you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

What is Offshore Investing and Why Consider it for Increasing Your Wealth?

Offshore investing, also called international or global investing, refers to legally placing your money in assets in a location other than your home country. It follows the same core principles as local investing, but with more options and opportunities. For example, If an investor notices a business investment opportunity outside South Africa or their home country and wishes to capitalise on it, offshore investing is a legal means of seeing it through.

When one considers that the South African stock market represents less than 1% of the world economy, investing overseas makes a lot of sense. The current climate of economic and political uncertainty means that wealthier South Africans are moving significant amounts of money out of the country, and they’re using offshore investments as their vehicle to do it.

Many Investors Are Not Seeing The Returns They Had Hoped For When Investing Locally (This Is Why)

One of the big reasons SA investors struggle to get a high ROI is because of inflation, the weakening rand, high taxes, and a struggling economy.

You’re likely blaming yourself or your investment company for small returns or in other cases, large losses.

The truth is … you could continue with your current investing strategy, or you can follow in the footsteps of savvy investors who have already figured out that local-based investments are not going to provide them with the returns they need to live a better quality of life.

So the 10 Million+ Rand Questions Are:

• How can I live in SA but protect my wealth from the fluctuating South African economy, rand, and inflation rates?

• How can I legally lower my investment taxes to keep more of the profits?

• How can I get better returns on my investments through investing offshore?

USE OFFSHORE INVESTING AS A DIVERSIFICATION BAROMETER

The aim of diversification is to reduce the risk of your investment while ensuring that financial returns are maximized. For best results, it’s recommended to optimize your diversification efforts by mixing in different asset classes among different geographies. 

2021 can be the year you take action on your wealth goals. I’ve opened up my calendar for new clients, just complete the feedback below to find out if you qualify for a free consultation with me.

A comfortable, secure, and meaningful retirement is what most people strive for. Yet as of November 1st, 2019, according to the National Treasury, close to 94% of those who reach retirement age in South Africa are unable to retire due to a lack of retirement savings. That means only 6% can retire comfortably.

The question I always ask my clients is. Do you fall in that 6% bracket of being financially ready to retire? Most of the time, the answer is No. And those who think they might be ready to retire, often make the biggest mistake of not planning for the long term effects of inflation.
