Why offshore?

Offshore investment has different features to onshore investment and the benefits of investing offshore will depend upon your individual circumstances. However, there are a number of general benefits for UK residents that you may wish to consider together with your adviser:

• Ability for your investment portfolio to grow virtually tax-free.
• Manage when and how much tax is paid.
• Broad investment choice.
• Reputable jurisdictions with appropriate regulations.
• Inheritance tax planning opportunities.
• Ease of access to capital and income.

The products and services offered by companies such as Legal & General International are often used by those who:

• Are planning on permanent residency outside the UK.
• Are planning periods of temporary absence from the UK.
• Are considering inheritance tax planning.
• Want to benefit from the ability to assign assets to non-taxpayers.
• Are looking to take advantage of open architecture investment opportunities.
• Want to control when and how to access or take an income from their capital.
