Expat Financial Tips - Expat. At the centre of every decision you make about your financial future today or tomorrow will be the advice you receive from your chosen adviser. Given the bewildering variety and number of products available, the most critical decision of all is your choice of company.
Financial advice is an essential requirement for everyone.
We all procrastinate to some degree and I count myself amongst the majority who at some point have delayed making a financial decision and regretted it later. Even if taking financial advice simply confirms what you already know it is often the essential catalyst for action. Some investors are rightly sceptical when it comes to making this choice, questioning the claims of independence and the bona fides of the organisations that approach them. Unfortunately, many expatriates have learnt the hard way and discover that offshore financial advice can be a minefield for the unwary investor. Expat readers may remember the case a few years ago of a respected school governor and financial adviser in KL who disappeared in Reginald Perrin fashion leaving his clients staring at gaping holes in their portfolios.
