Optimise my existing offshore assets

With the right offshore investment strategy, you gain access to opportunities and benefits not available in the local market. Some of the benefits include efficient management of tax and estate duties, risk mitigation, and protection against exchange rate volatility. With exposure to top-tier investment opportunities, your portfolio can achieve optimal returns within global markets.

 

Tax efficient structuring

Multigenerational, multi-asset and globally diverse investment structures require significant tax and fiduciary obligations, which may have a significant impact on your investment results. We understand the complexities involved and aim to optimise your portfolio structure to protect, preserve and grow your wealth.

Our experienced Private Wealth Managers can advise you on the relevant tax deductions, rebates, penalties and ongoing reporting information required in order to structure your portfolio in a compliant and tax efficient manner.

Diversify your portfolio

As specialists in international and local wealth planning and integrated wealth management solutions, we offer a range of investment options that diversify your portfolio across different countries, regions, sectors, asset classes and products.

As an independent financial advisory firm, we provide unbiased financial advice, putting your best interests first.

Safeguard your future

By partnering with some of the best insurance companies in the world, we ensure that you and your family have all the necessary financial help you need to deal with an unexpected life-changing event.

We provide dependable advice to give you the right amount of cover to suit your age, income, lifestyle and family composition. The cover is optimised to ensure it provides for all your future needs.

Plan for long-term savings

Retirement, college, a deposit on a house, emergency funds for unforeseen circumstances – these are long-term goals that require careful planning and consistent savings to achieve. While other aspects of your portfolio may be more dynamic, these savings play an important role in protecting your lifestyle.

With your goals in mind, your Private Wealth Manager will help you choose the correct investment to achieve the financial future you envision.

Having an effective estate plan provides instructions on where, when and how your wealth will be passed on to your beneficiaries upon death. It helps to ensures your estate is unwound effectively, timeously and cost effectively. Estate planning is an ongoing process – whether it’s because of changes in your life or that of your loved ones, or the ever-changing estate tax laws, regular reviews are essential.

Your greatest asset is your ability to earn an income. It is important to prepare for the unexpected.

Your income enables you to maintain your lifestyle – from everyday expenses that cover the home you live in to providing for your family with food, healthcare and education. Income protection ensures that you can maintain your lifestyle without affecting your future financial plans. Your retirement planning and emergency funds remain untouched. Income protection replaces a portion of your income, and pays out until you can start working again.

Retirement, college, a deposit on a house, emergency funds for unforeseen circumstances – these are long-term goals that require careful planning and consistent savings to achieve.

For many clients, a retirement annuity (RA) takes the place of a traditional pension fund, and it is designed for individual investors. You are allowed to contribute up to 27.5% of your taxable income, with a limit of R350 000 per year.

If you belong to a company-sponsored pension fund, a preserver fund is put in place when you change jobs, or when you near retirement age, but you do not want to make use of the funds. Your investment and tax benefits remain intact, and you can transfer your funds back into a retirement vehicle at a later stage.

With a company-sponsored group scheme, your contributions and those of your employer are invested in a tax-efficient manner. At retirement, you can pay out a third of the pension as a lump sum, and the remaining portion is reinvested in a living annuity, allowing you to draw a regular income from your retirement.

When you reach retirement age, a living annuity provides you with a regular income from your retirement funds. Depending on your financial situation, your income can be as little as 2.5% per annum, with a maximum of 17.5% per annum. When you pass away, the remaining funds in your annuity form part of your estate.

A life annuity is an insurance product that guarantees a monthly pension for the rest of your life. The product safeguards you against the risks of living longer than expected, or depleting your funds too quickly because of poor investment returns. When you pass away, no funds are passed on to your estate, and any remaining savings are lost.
