Wealth Management
All of our portfolios are managed on a discretionary basis. Though the investment objectives are different for each portfolio, the principle goals of most portfolios are to preserve capital and to achieve capital appreciation.
To ensure maximum portfolio management efficiency, we recommend use of Offshore Nominee Trust Accounts. These tax-efficient vehicles are available through investment brokerage house offices on the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. These accounts allow the portfolio to be managed according to the client's exact wishes. They also allow for objective performance reviews to be undertaken and provide secure online client account valuation.
Taxation advice, both personal and regarding charitable organizations, foundations and trusts, is available through the investment brokerage houses whom we introduce as well. We work closely with them to minimize and/or eliminate the impact of taxation.
What are the costs?
Costs vary on a number of factors such as the monetary value of the assets to be held in the account. All costs are paid directly to the recommended nominee account provider. Offshore Holdings Advisory is paid its portion of the fees by the recommended nominee account provider.
Introductory Fee: Minimuim investment 150,000 GBP with 0% introductory fee.
Dealing Fees:
1.5% for the first 12,500 GBP on each purchase, sale or switch within the account. 0.7% on the next 12,500 GBP and 0.5% on the remainder. This is retained in full by the recommended nominee account provider. In addition to these fees, a particular transaction may also give rise to a further, fund specific, charge. Any such charge would be beyond the control of either the nominee provider or Offshore Holdings Advisory.
Annual Management Fee:
Most brokerage houses charge a fee of 1.50% per annum in lieu of the initial and continuing Asset Allocation advice they provide for an account. This fee is levied on a quarterly (in arrears) basis and is deducted from the account by the recommended nominee account provider.
Zero initial commission will be charged by, or due to, Offshore Holdings Advisory on any purchase, sale or switch affected via your account.
Offshore Holdings Advisory may receive ‘trail’ income on some investments. Any such income is paid direct by the fund manager and does not affect either client investment account balance or the particular fund Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund paying the ‘trail’ income. Any such payment will be disclosed to the client.
Account Information
Clients receive a quarterly valuation from the nominee provider detailing account balances and stock movements.
Whenever a transaction occurs in a private client account, the provider mails a contract note detailing the transaction (buy or sell) to the client’s address of record.
Clients may also access secure online account valuations (via providers’ site) at anytime.
