Diversification

Global solutions was designed to help you diversify your wealth

beyond South African borders and into different geographies,

asset classes and industries, as well as into leading world currencies.

The process of diversification acts as a brake against volatility in

the market and creates new avenues for growing your capital and

investments.

Our experts can guide you through the regulations and process of

moving money offshore, be it via the R1 million per annum single

discretionary allowance (available to each South African resident

individual over the age of 18) or the R10 million per calendar year

foreign investment allowance (which requires tax clearance approval

from the South African Reserve Bank).

For many wealthy clients these drivers include:

Access to global investments

Investing on the world stage offers access to exciting global

companies and opportunities. This gives your investment portfolio a

wider geographic footprint and allows for the inclusion of currency

diversification options.

The holistic global solutions offering works with you to navigate the

complexities of offshore investing by combining specialist insights

across the following areas:

• Stockbroking – through our global trader product

• International portfolio management

• International financial advice

account, thereby avoiding the uncertainty associated with currency

fluctuations and enabling you to save now and travel or invest later.

Estate and succession planning

both tax efficiency and succession planning in mind. The global

solutions offering covers:

• Wills

• Situs assets

• Offshore structures

Transactional capabilities

Transact easily and quickly using our secure digital channels, either

Offshore trusts and structuring solutions

Global solutions provides the most efficient structuring for your wealth and financial legacy to ensure that the transfer to future generations is seamless.

Our offshore fiduciary specialists, who operate through Guernsey based FNB International Trustees Limited, take into account your specific circumstances and then guide you through the process of establishing the most appropriate structure for your needs. Ongoing support is provided throughout the process.

Solutions required may be as simple as drafting an appropriate offshore Will, or may require the establishment of a more sophisticated structure, such as an offshore trust.

A trust exists when a person (the settlor) transfers assets to another person (the trustee) who holds the legal title to assets (the trust fund) not for himself, but for the benefit of others (the beneficiaries). This is in accordance with the terms and conditions usually set down in writing in the form of a trust deed, and the relevant law where the trust is based.
