Offshore Trusts: Investment in Asset Protection
The use of Offshore Trusts provides many advantages with regards
to protection
and tax treatment of assets. 1st Contact Accounting
can advise on the setup and
management of trust investments so
that maximum leverage is obtained from these arrangements.
In addition, 1st Contact Accounting works closely with trustees to help manage
and invest the trust’s assets, particularly those in offshore jurisdictions.
We provide the connection between the trustees and the beneficiaries so that the
trust is invested according to the original wishes of the donor. Trustees are often
prohibited from providing investment advice
due to segregation of duties or do not have the expertise in this area – hence the
need for an independent investment service such as that provided by 1st Contact
Accounting.
Our investment philosophy is such that we tailor each investment portfolio to the
requirements of the individual. Our bespoke investment portfolios take into account
expected returns, risk, costs and the tax situation of each individual (in this
case the trusts settlers and beneficiaries).

investments.
