Why Use Offshore Investment Bonds?


Investing in Offshore Investment Bonds provides a tax wrapper that allows you to invest flexibly and tax-efficiently in the extensive global range of mutual funds that the bond provider offers through trusted fund house partners. Relationship Managers will use their knowledge of your wider portfolio, to select which funds to hold in your Offshore Bond.

Designed as medium to long term investment solution, an Offshore Bond can offer a combination of potential growth and income, as well as the freedom to switch funds within the wrapper without tax liability.

What is an Offshore Investment Bond?
