Investing offshore

Article Abstract:

Offshore investments can provide tax advantages for UK investors, and they are likely to become increasingly popular if it appears that the UK Labor Party will win the next election. Income from offshore funds is paid gross, while onshore investment trusts pay income with basic rate tax subtracted, unless personal equity plans are used. Tax has to be paid for offshore investments, but it is paid at a later date, and this means that the gross income is available prior to paying tax.

Safe hands across the channel

Article Abstract:

Patricia Maxwell-Arnott from Credit Suisse Asset Management seeks to obtain a good return from low risk investments. She previously worked at Lazards, and is seen as reliable. She focuses on larger firms in large markets and avoids illiquid stocks. She is not especially concerned about currencies, arguing that companies which rely on exports can perform well in countries with weak currencies. She also argues that privatization issues are not necessarily good for investors.

The good, the bad and the unviable

Article Abstract:

Corporate bond personal equity plans (Peps) offer tax benefits for UK investors. Firms involved in unit trusts are hoping that the popularity of unit trusts will be boosted by the new corporate bond Peps. This will mean that the new products have to attract new investors rather than existing investors transferring funds. They are suitable for people in need of a high income who are prepared to assume higher risk levels than if they used building societies.
