Choice is great! But it's a burden when we find ourselves in
unfamiliar territory. We may enjoy landing on a deserted
tropical island. Beauty, tranquility, space and freedom - not
found in an office, apartment or back garden. But the choice
of where to swim in the beach coves and where to walk in the
coconut groves may cause us to stop and think. More the
enjoyment and thrill when we know there is no risk in consuming
nature's gifts without fear. But reliable, local knowledge is first
needed - to release that sense of freedom to enjoy, without
peril. The offshore financial market is like that island haven,
great to be in there and safe - but only with reliable, local
knowledge. That's where we can fit into your plans. We've
been in that market for the past three decades. You can use our
local knowledge of the people, procedures, laws and practices.
The Seasoned Expat and Entrepreneur
Many enterprising (even adventurous) expatriates and global
entrepreneurs have a talent for building wealth. They succeed
because they take calculated risks in their careers and lifestyles
backed by knowhow, education and experience gained initially at
home. Few jobs overseas call for trainees to be sent abroad.
The professionals, with experience, are in demand. But most
will still lack local knowledge until they become seasoned foreign
professionals with several campaigns under their belts.
Many become knowledgeable to a high standard
about the offshore world. They think they can
handle that part without the help of 'Johnny-Come-
Lately' suitcase brokers who parachute into the
Caribbean from time to time.
True. But there is no match or substitute for local knowledge
among the settled offshore professionals. There, trade secrets
do not reach even the most seasoned expat or entrepreneur.
THAT is why it pays thousands in the bank for the hundreds
spent on offshore navigational guidance from a professional
advisory firm like ours. Try us and see!

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?
In this popular TV show the contestants are given multiple
answers to each question. The right choice is their only
ticket to the next level and eventually the jackpot. Running
your financial affairs is similar but it's not a game. You have
a jackpot (or many) in mind - your life goal(s) - and you have
to win countless rounds to get there - making choices at
each step.
Becoming a US$ millionaire is not that big a deal any
more with the right choice of occupation and financial
advice. The world's richest man, Bill Gates, started out
only wanting to be a millionaire by 30. He became a
billionaire by 31!
But remember it's your NET worth that counts (ie all those assets
LESS all your liabilities, actual and contingent). Why is that so
important? Read on.
Focus on Both Sides of Your Coin
In client conversations we hear about valuations of stock
and bond portfolios, mutual funds, properties, stock options but
seldom about mortgages, loans, overdrafts and credit card
balances. We have to ask. Most of them dislike the word 'debt'.
But they can live with 'credit'.
Not knowing the difference between credit and
debt can inhibit good financial decision-making
- especially if one partner wants to be totally
'debt free'.
The other partner may see the two sides of the coin in better
perspective. Credit used wisely can accelerate wealth building.
'Heads You Win, Tails You Lose' is not the mantra for asset-
liability wealth creation and can ruin many a family plan and a
many a family while ignorance is allowed to rein!
Get An Independent, Professional Opinion
A fully comprehensive analysis of one's corporate or personal
affairs is the greatest foundation stone you can have in building
wealth. Prepared by an independent professional firm it will take
the bias and guesswork out of your plan. It will enable all
controllers or signatories of that wealth to read from the same
page - often for the very first time!
With all hands on deck the vessel will sail faster
and more enjoyably, even if you don't get there
on time!
