International Investing
 
In the increasingly global economy it is not uncommon for adults to work in two or more countries during the course of their careers. This growing trend makes for all kinds of financial planning challenges for
expatriate investors and their families. Common areas of difficulty are expat friendly pensions, regular savings programs, and education planning.
 
International Pension and Regular Savings: Regular savings is the cornerstone of a prosperous retirement. Of primary concern is using an accumulation vehicle that is both tax free and provides unrestricted
portability. Expats need to know that they can still access their pension or savings plan regardless of whether they move to yet another country, or return home to their country of citizenship. Ideally pensions and long term savings vehicles should be flexible, and provide a measure of liability protection to the investor. The Friends Provident Premier plan meets all of these requirements. The plan can be accessed and used from anywhere in the world, and is designed to meet the contribution needs of real investors.
 
Education Planning: The average cost of education is going up every year on a global basis. As more families take advantage of opportunities world-wide, their total education costs may substantially increase. It can be especially expensive if the child going to school is not a long term resident in the country where they are receiving their post-secondary education. Everyone with children should have a tax free education savings plan set up to offset the high prices of education. The Friends Provident Premier plan is ideal for education planning. It enables parents to grow their contributions steadily over many years. Then, when your child is ready to access the money, it is available in a lump sum or regular payment basis.
