As an expat (expatriate) you are in a privileged savings and investing position. Make the most of the options available to you while you can, consider investing offshore for your retirement. While you reside overseas you are legally entitled to make use of any tax savings in the country in which you reside, furthermore you are most likely in a position to save and invest offshore to fund and fuel your retirement.
Not enough expatriates make use of their offshore advantage when living and working abroad. Don’t make the same mistake! Do you already have a domestic pension plan in place from your home country that you established prior to working abroad? Have you found that this policy is not as mobile as you are? Does it make sense to continue with the savings policy?
Have you been considering switching from retirement savings plan to savings plan as you change from country to country? Did you know that by doing this the income you end up with in later life will be fragmented and may be whittled away by foreign exchange costs, charges or even a cash-strapped government?
