What services do we offer?

Offshore current accounts, holding bank accounts offshore can make managing your money and assets whilst you are overseas, easier to administer and gives you complete geographical flexibility. We can assist you with opening a range of current accounts offshore in any number of different base currencies.

Portable retirement planning 

International Private Retirement Plan, expats moving from place to place with this transient lifestyle goes very much against their retirement planning. It often prevents them forming coherent financial plans over the medium-long term. Offshore portable retirement plans offer a great solution to the transient contractor who, just like their local counterpart, wishes to invest and make financial plans for his or her future. The inconvenience and disruption of needing to re-establish a new retirement plan every time you ‘country hop’ is negated by this geographically portable solution. The plan stays in the same place while you move around, and it grows tax-free the whole time, in a tax efficient investment area.

UK pension transfers 

Wondering how to transfer or consolidate your UK pensions (including UK frozen pensions) to the Philippines? We offer an international SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pensions) as a QROPS (Qualifying Overseas Pension Schemes) would be unsuitable for an expat in Myanmar.

Do you already hold a QROP and paying heavy charges? We can also assist with the transfer to a suitable low-cost SIPP structure.

University & education fee funding Savings Plan

By putting in place an effective, tax efficient, wealth accumulation international education savings plan you can address all the dreams and aspirations that you have for your children, with a much greater level of ease. You are not restricted from which country you can contribute or upon using the capital to withdraw/encash to pay for the education expenses. The plan stays in the same place while you move around, and it grows tax-free the whole time, in a tax efficient investment area.
