Where You Are Welcome as an American Investor

The Sovereign Society (August 9, 2010)

They say America is the land of opportunity.

But for well-meaning wealthy Americans, sometimes America itself can seem like your ONLY opportunity.

Your ONLY opportunity to set up a bank account…house your savings… create your retirement plan… build your investment portfolio… properly manage your wealth for your heirs… diversify your wealth outside the U.S. dollar…

…in short, all the responsible things that intelligent Americans should do.

At least, that’s what U.S. brokers, asset managers and bankers would have you believe. They tell you that America has the best wealth opportunities anywhere.

And who can blame them? They want to keep your money in the U.S., so they can collect their fees.

So of course, these U.S. providers will give you a hard time when you ask about the perfectly legitimate and profitable investment opportunities overseas.

Here’s the Truth They All Don’t Want You to Know…

You will still find the best investment, banking, asset management, retirement, and estate planning options far outside U.S. borders.

Also, there are still plenty of countries who welcome Americans with open arms. It’s a good thing too because right now, Americans need the opportunities abroad more than ever.

In the aftermath of this financial crisis (if it is indeed “over”), the strongest banks still standing are all located outside the United States.

As proof, I recently reviewed the FDIC list of failed banks in the U.S.

I was stunned to see that this year alone over 90 U.S. banks have failed. And experts expect the number to exceed last year’s total of 140.

Plus, the number of “problem banks” rose to over 750 in the first quarter of this year, according to the FDIC.

If you know that, you can understand why Americans are coming to Switzerland by the plane-ful to set up bank accounts.

In fact, we are seeing a huge influx of capital from investors around the world seeking safety for their assets in these constantly volatile times.

Why Switzerland? As a country, we offer security, political and economic stability, a stable currency and state-of-the-art financial services industry.

For centuries, my country has maintained its reputation for our strictly-regulated, solid financial institutions. Also, many Swiss institutions still welcome Americans.

How to Get Your Cash into Switzerland

If you’re interested in moving assets to Switzerland, a bank account is actually NOT the best choice.

But fortunately, there is another alternative…

It involves an integrated investment solution that combines an insurance policy with an overseas bank and asset manager. Here’s what it looks like…

1. An insurance company issues a policy based on an underlying portfolio.
2. A custodian bank holds the portfolio.
3. A designated asset manager manages the portfolio according to your chosen strategy.

The portfolio can hold almost any kind of bankable asset. And as the policy owner, you have control of, and access to, your assets at all times.

The best part is the process is simple to set up. It doesn’t require the complicated account-opening and reporting formalities that banks now require. You simply need to complete an application and show your passport.

Once your account is set up, your assets are protected no matter what happens (bankruptcy, lawsuit etc). You have an easy way to pass wealth to your heirs. Also, your assets grow tax-deferred for as long as you hold your policy (similar to a retirement plan).

Even better, your investment solution can be tailor-made to fit your individual needs, and can be adapted as necessary.

This is just one of the many opportunities lying outside America’s borders. Make sure you don’t miss out.
