Quick Ideas on Saving Money on Another Country

Have you ever thought of creating a bank account in another country? Nowadays, this is no longer exclusive to those who have large amount of wealth to protect from unlawful creditors. Even regular entrepreneurs take  advantage of the idea to ensure that their businesses will continue to progress with enough funds.

There are important factors to be considered when setting up an offshore bank account. First and foremost, you have to regard the distance. The farther your bank account is from your country of residence the better. This makes your fortune as invisible as possible. Often times, large sum of money cannot escape the public eye. In fact, their owners are suspected to have illegal wealth and the worse of all the government can confiscate all of it.

Choose a remote bank that can offer you easy access to your account. Although this is not a problem as most banks across the globe provide international credit and debit cards, it is still wise to be assured of the online features that your prospect bank possesses. Go ask your prospect banks about it.



Putting your account under another individual's name can give an added sense of privacy to it. Another way to do this is through a trust company. Offshore trusts are legal means that can shield your identity while you practice full control over your wealth. Depending on the trust agreements only you and your rightful beneficiaries can take a hold of your money. 

Offshore incorporation also goes along well with offshore bank accounts and trust funds. It protects not only your wealth but also the identity of your company with which you earn your income. Let us say that the company directors are unnamed as well, then your company and personal bank accounts would be more difficult to trace.  There is an option though where in you can have nominee company directors. That is another great feature you can utilize however it might cost you extra fees.

For assured secrecy of your money, be firm in not telling anyone about your offshore bank account. Your secret wealth will be most likely to be divulged if many people know its whereabouts.

Drawdown is a word that is feared and hated by every trader, but it is an inevitable part of playing the markets. It is simply how much your account loses from its peak. Suppose you start with $10,000 in your account, and after a succession of losses the account goes down to $7000. That means you have lost $3000, or 30% of the original starting $10,000, and therefore your drawdown is 30%. Drawdown is relative to where your account peaks, so say you had a good run and built the account up to $12,000, then lost $3000 again, bringing it down to $9000. Your drawdown this time would be $3000 from $12,000, or 25%. Maximum drawdown corresponds to the lowest your account ever hits. Sometimes you will see trading strategies detailing how much maximum drawdown is expected to be when using them – usually the more risky strategies will anticipate a greater drawdown while expecting a higher profit on average. Drawdown is particularly dangerous because, the way statistics work, you ...
