Asset Protection

Asset protection is about using legal strategies to protect what is rightfully yours. There is always someone to protect assets from: fraudsters, unscrupulous competitors, greedy ex-spouses, ambulance-chasing lawyers or corrupt government officials.

The greater your wealth and the more assets you have, the more likely you are to be sued. However, you can start with small steps: anonymous payment cards protect against identity theft (because you don't reveal your identity), a simple offshore trust and a foreign bank account are all good steps towards asset protection that don't need to cost you the earth!

The mere fact of having your assets in another country already makes them harder for others to trace.

After that: offshore asset protection trusts, foundations, offshore private banking and other individually-tailored solutions.

Asset protection also takes into account the protection of personal data - because anyone with access to your personal data can use it to steal your identity. Or potentially to access your money, legally or illegally.

US Clamps Down on Crypto: Nevis to the Rescue

US Clamps Down on Crypto: Nevis to the Rescue


The US regulators are going to introduce changes to the laws regulating the activity of US crypto investors. What does that mean in practice?
