Offshore Investment Management Services

Offshore investments are investments that are made outside an investor’s resident country.

For example, if Mr. A, a resident of Nigeria, invests in the U.S., that investment is considered an offshore investment.

We help you invest and manage assets in global markets.

Our services include:

  • Buying and selling international securities (equities, bonds, ETFs, commodities and other securities in the US, UK, Europe, Canada, and other world leading stock exchanges)
  • Managing offshore portfolios
  • Providing international and offshore wealth structuring and advisory services

Offshore investing helps you spread your money across different countries, asset classes, and currencies. It opens access to global opportunities and reduces the risk of keeping all your investments in one place or one currency.

Depending on what you invest in, you can earn:

  • Dividends from shares
  • Interest or coupon income from bonds
  • Capital gains when you sell assets at a higher price

You also enjoy global diversification and exposure to world-leading companies and industries.
