Protecting Your Wealth Across Borders

Kieron Donovan, Financial Adviser at Skybound Wealth Management, shares expert strategies for protecting your wealth across borders.

Managing wealth as an expat requires careful consideration of legal frameworks, investment structures, and asset protection strategies. Without the right safeguards, your hard-earned assets could face unnecessary risks.

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across the globe, helping them protect their wealth and achieve their long-term investment goals. Here's how I approach safeguarding your wealth, no matter where life takes you.

Protecting your wealth acros borders

Why Jurisdiction Matters

Different countries offer varying levels of investor protection, and understanding these differences is essential for keeping your wealth secure. For example, the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) provides up to £85,000 of protection for eligible investments, while many other jurisdictions lack similar guarantees. I work with clients to navigate these complexities and ensure their assets are held in jurisdictions that provide the strongest levels of protection. It’s a crucial step in maintaining financial stability and avoiding unnecessary risks.

The Role of a Custodian

One of the key strategies I recommend is using a reliable custodian to safeguard assets. Custodians hold investments separately from financial institutions’ operational funds, meaning your wealth remains secure even if the institution faces financial challenges. By partnering with trusted custodians worldwide, I help clients add an extra layer of security to their financial planning, giving them peace of mind no matter where they are based.

Choosing the Right Investment Vehicles

Tax efficiency plays a significant role in managing cross-border wealth. From tax-efficient savings plans to globally diversified portfolios, I tailor investment strategies to suit each client’s unique needs and goals. My priority is to ensure your money is working for you, minimising tax liabilities while maximising growth potential. By aligning your investments with both local and international tax regulations, I help you optimise your financial outcomes.

Securing Your Financial Future

As someone who has spent years working with clients in multiple jurisdictions, I understand the unique challenges expats face. My goal is to provide forward-thinking strategies that not only protect your wealth today but also set you up for a secure future. Whether you’re building a retirement plan or diversifying your portfolio, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we can create a financial strategy that supports your ambitions and ensures your assets are protected across borders.
