Knowing the days of the so-called James Bond-style numbered Swiss bank accounts may be over, the truth is, the real world of discreet private banking and offshore wealth-management is growing at a rapid pace. How can this be? Simply mix the world’s geo-political concoction with a tidbit of common sense and truth will begin to ooze out. There is an ongoing, worldwide, financial uncertainty that continually agitates the consciences of sane men to seek safe financial havens – places they trust.

Regardless of the highly publicized government crackdowns on tax evasion and other invasions of privacy around the world during 2009 and 2010, many more billions of dollars are finding a cozy home, tucked away in offshore banks and tax havens, than ever before. Yes, there are good reasons for this, plus, it’s all absolutely legal.

TAX AVOIDANCE: Tax avoidance is far from the only fact that’s encouraging street-smart individuals and high net worth investors to go offshore. There are more good reasons than ever to go offshore. Taxes are certainly a prime factor, but many people these days are motivated by other strong feelings.

GOVERMENTAL NON-TRUST: People simply do not trust the governmental system in which they live any more. Basically, they are rising up and demanding iron-fisted control of their own money. They are fed up with watching their hard-earned money be wasted, via taxes, on liberal, non-productive causes.

RIGHT TO PRIVACY: The human right to privacy is deeply embedded in the mind of every man – a creation implantation. For governments to attempt to go against such an engrained right is downright suicidal. Eventually, such tactics will backfire every time. Simply ask one intelligent question. Why should a person’s private finances become an open book?

BANK FAILURES & BAILOUTS: What honest man can go to bed at night, with peace of mind, knowing that his local banks are falling off the precipice, and bank bailouts are being funded with fiat money – driving prices (inflation) through the roof for the staples of life. Naturally, rational individuals will find a solution. Yes, they will locate countries that respect the rule of law and private property – avoiding toxic monetary exposure. And, they will seek out conservative and respectable offshore banks in these countries to open secure, personal and corporate accounts.

ILLEGAL LAWSUITS: Living under an evil umbrella where there is always another so-called attorney to rape you of your home, car, pension, bank account or other personal assets are more than most men will bear over time. And, putting a rotten cherry on top on this pillage, the so-called courts of justice are backing up these licensed thieves. Who in this world desires to live under such conditions? The only answer is to become an offshore private banking client in order to preserve your familial assets and your life.

INFLATION: Private banking clients are smart enough to know they must counteract all the above governmental intrusions in their lives, and there is one more that must be checked immediately, if not sooner – INFLATION. Here we face an utmost fundamental issue of life — the decline in the value of the dollar and other major currencies like the euro and pound. The only hope is to become an offshore banking client and diversify into other currencies, and of course into precious metals like gold and silver — something made easy by offshore multi-currency bank accounts.

In conclusion, I’m sure you’ve heard about the proverbial risk of keeping all your eggs in one basket! Well, I’m convinced that I have listed some good reasons to make a change. Therefore, if you are unhappy with the financial climate in your home country, seek out an offshore bank to park at least a part of your portfolio–being confident that you have made a wise choice. Now, rest your weary head!
