| | [anonymous] Hi All,
I have a stash and would like to invest. I had an EIB for a while about 5 years back and got into it mostly because of the cheap offshore funds I could buy in the wrapper, but wound it up to invest in Real Estate. That worked out well which leads me to my current situation a modest 200k USD. I'm heading back to Equities and would like to be a 'Lazy' investor, i.e. invest in index funds. But I think that EFT's offer a better way to invest now so I have been looking around for a broker that will allow me to invest in EFT's offshore. I would like to invest in the same EFT's in different currencies for the usual diversification reasons, and because although I am Canadian, I live a bit like a tax exile. I need to know that whatever currency my investments are in is not going to tank when I want to take the investments out. So I figure investing in 3 or 4 major currencies in the same 4 or 5 EFT's ought to be a good way to go for me.
I checked Internaxx and they are not offering many EFT's. I'd like to go with iShares products, and they don't offer any. So the question is, is there an advantage to using an EIB for investing mostly in EFT's? Alternately do you know of any offshore brokerages offering iShares products in various markets?
Currently I am tax resident in Switzerland, but that could change anytime. I was tax resident in Australia for 8 mo this year and the US before that. I'm looking for work in Dubai so I can earn Tax Free for a while. Lived in Japan for 5 years a while back.
Cheers,
Carl |
