Three Profitable Offshore Opportunities - Banking, Forex, And a Foundation The world is changing and it is changing fast. Who would have thought that small Asian economies would be leading the way out of the worst recession in seventy-five years? Who would have thought that a country like Peru would be buying dollars to alter the exchange rate and help prop up the dollar? It is a brand new world where perhaps the best place to set up a banking operation is in New Zealand although an NZOFC cannot be called a bank! Still, a tried and true solution to offshore asset management such as a Panama Private Interest Foundation remains as a profitable and secure offshore solution along with offshore banking, and opening a Forex company. More and more people are moving their assets, their talents, and themselves out of their nations of origin and into a busy, industrious, and profitable offshore world. The very wealthy have banked in tax advantaged jurisdictions for years. They have taken still take advantage of offshore asset protection and privacy vehicles such as trusts, international corporations, and foundations to shield their wealth from prying eyes and reduce the tax consequence of inheritance. However, it is the surge of expatriates from all over the globe moving and doing business all over the globe that opens the doors to profitable offshore investment opportunities. Three profitable offshore opportunities are starting a bank, forming an offshore Forex company, and using a Panama Private Interest Foundation as a holder of tangible assets, businesses, and bank accounts. There are many opportunities in today's fast moving world. We choose these three for their combination of opportunity and security. Offshore Banking in the 21st Century: an NZOFC There are many offshore banking jurisdictions. There are also a number of jurisdictions where an individual or corporation can obtain licensing and set up business offering banking services. In choosing a jurisdiction for offering offshore banking services the individual or corporation will want to search out a democratic, politically and economically stable, business friendly country. A nation where English, still the universal language, is spoken is a plus. The nation will need to have at least adequate infrastructure to support the business and ideally will have first rate telecommunications, transportation, and support services. A nation that offers a first rate offshore banking opportunity and also fits the necessary criteria for a successful offshore operation is New Zealand. This former British Crown Colony is located in the Southwest Pacific to the East of Australia. Its population is mostly descended from British immigrants and is mostly English speaking. The country is well governed with little or no corruption and its educational standards are as good as or better than the USA, Canada, and Great Britain. This is a business friendly country known for its innovative spirit. Of our three profitable offshore opportunities we put the New Zealand Offshore Financial Company (NZOFC) at the top of the list. This type of company is not governed by New Zealand banking law nor regulated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New Zealand. There are no capital reserve requirements in setting up an NZOFC. The law in New Zealand is quite specific in that an NZOFC cannot be called a bank or intimated to be a bank. However, such a company can take deposits from anywhere in the world outside of New Zealand. It can pay interests, make loans, market investments, manage trusts, and provide virtually all services that a bank might offer. Anyone from any country is free to apply for a license to operate an NZOFC. A Profitable Foreign Exchange Opportunity So, the Chinese are trading the Yuan versus the Malaysian Ringgit. The Euro is periodically in free fall as Greece and the other PIIGS reveal more sovereign debt. A flight to quality sends folks out buying Yen, US dollars, and Swiss francs. So, how do you trade foreign exchange in this hectic and uncertain world of international finance? There is certainly money to be made in Forex trading. There is, however, steady money to be made in running a Forex brokerage offshore. There are a number of jurisdictions still where it is possible to obtain a Forex license. Because of the variable degrees of infrastructure development, business friendliness, and political stability in some offshore jurisdictions it is wise to consult someone with experience to help choose a jurisdiction, obtain licensure, and initiate operations. There are a number good places from which to do business, depending up individual preference. There are also a few disadvantageous jurisdictions to be avoided. Starting out with good advice in this arena is wise. The point of setting of a Forex company is that the fees and commissions are steady income. While trading can be profitable it can also be a drain on capital. This is the old argument about selling picks and shovels when everyone else is prospecting for gold. Handling Offshore Opportunity in the Most Advantageous Manner The third offshore opportunity we mention is the Panama Private Interest Foundation. This is not directly a business opportunity but it can be a "holder" of businesses, bank accounts, and assets such as art work, yachts, airplanes, jewelry, and more. A Panama Private Interest Foundation has no owner. It does have beneficiaries. Such an entity is often used in place of a trust to pass on inheritance with minimal tax consequences. The foundation is set up in such a way and with instructions so that beneficiaries change when the first beneficiary dies. Especially for those with concerns about asset privacy and security this type of foundation will allow for individuals to benefit from assets, businesses, and bank accounts without having their personal names or other details in any public registry. A common use of a Panama Private Interest Foundation is in an integrated offshore asset protection solution containing offshore businesses, bank accounts, and other assets. Typically the foundation is the lynch pin in this solution as the holder of assets for the use and benefit of designated persons, the beneficiaries. These three profitable offshore opportunities are available to anyone interested in pursuing them. It only takes an email or phone call to an experienced individual or company to get the ball roll

New to Forex Guide Forex is an abbreviation of Foreign Exchange. Like it pronounces Forex is the simultaneous buying and selling of a currency pair. Many currency pairs are available for trading (practically all) but traders rely most on some pairs which are called majors. These currencies are called majors because liquidity is major for these pairs and this means that you can sell or buy any of these pairs whenever you like because a lot of these money are in circulation worldwide. Forex is a physical occurrence in the global economic system. A tourist traveling from Europe to USA exchanges euros to dollars and becomes a potential trader of Forex. Usa companies need to exchange US dollars before exporting to Europe or Japan. Every currency pair has a price which is determined by the law of demand and supply globally. If the demand for a currency is high then it gains in value. If the supply for a currency is high then it loses in value. Today, Forex liquidity is more than 3 trillion dollars daily. The most important for a trader is the meaning of the value of a currency pair. For example EUR/USD 1.2640 means that you can buy 1.2640 USD with 1 EUR. Remember: An easy rule to remember what this price means is to translate the numerator (EUR) in 1 and take the currency value to be the denominator. Some currencies have special names like Kiwi for New Zealand Dollar, Cable for Great Britain Pound and Aussie for Australian Dollar. If you become an active Forex trader you will listen these names often. How can a trader make a profit from Foreign Exchange? This is the most important part to understand, so take great care to understand it thoroughly before reading more. The value of a currency pair is not the same during the day but changes second by second all the week besides Saturday and Sunday when the banks are closed. You can buy or sell a currency pair. This means that you can buy or sell the first part of the pair and sell or buy the other simultaneously. For example let's say that the price for EUR/USD is 1.2640. You can give a buy order for 100 Euros in EUR/USD currency pair. This means that you can buy 100 Euros and sell 126.40 US dollars. After some time the currency pair value is 1.2700. Then you can give a sell order. You sell the 100 euros that you have bought previously and now you can buy 127 dollars. This means that you earned 0.6 US dollars. Let's say that after some time the pair value is 1.2600. What happens now? You can give a sell order for 100 euros but now you can buy 126 dollars. You lost 0.4 dollars when the deal was closed. A deal in Forex is comprised by a full buy and sell or sell and buy cycle in a currency pair. Let's play more: Say the price for EUR/USD is now 1.2650. Sell 10,000 Euros. Buy them back when the price of the currency pair is 1.27 or 1.26. Have you found the answer? You sold 10,000 euros and bought 12,650 dollars. You bought 10,000 euros back when the price was 1.27 so you sold 12,700 dollars. That's how you lost 50 dollars. On the other hand if you have bought 10,000 euros back with 12,600 dollars you would earn 50 dollars. Notice that the more money you trade the more profit or loss you realize. Make some examples of your own. Be sure to understand these transactions well before reading more. ALWAYS REMEMBER When you buy you are "long" in Forex language. When you are long you want the currency pair to appreciate in order to make profit. When you sell you are "short". When you are short you want the currency pair to depreciate in order to make profit. The last digit of the price in a currency pair is called pip. In EUR/USD 1.2640 the 0 digit is called pip. More specifically the change of the last digit in one unit is called one pip change. The pip numbers in forex is the indicator of your profit or loss. In Forex you trade the last decimal change in the price of currency pair so it is important to trade big amount of money to realize a nice profit. If you have tried to understand Forex you should have heard the word "margin". What is meant by margin? An official definition is: "The amount of money of collateral deposited by a customer with a broker, by a broker with a clearing member, or by a clearing member with clearinghouse in order to insure the broker or clearinghouse against loss on outstanding futures positions". Sounds like Greek? Well, margin is the amount you deposit for trading. The trading company uses this amount as insurance while you trade. Remember the examples of the currency pairs we used before. In order to make a sufficient profit per pip you have to trade at least 10,000 United State Dollars. With margin you only have to trade 100 USD. The remaining 9,900 are forex brokers' money. When you realize loss while you are trading you lose only from your 100 USD trading money and forex broker does not lose anything of its 9,900 USD. By the use of margin accounts Forex trader can experience great profits will small amounts of money. Beware: Forex trader can also experience great loss with margin accounts. Let's look an example of the margin account: A forex trader opens an account with a forex broker and deposits 1.000 USD. His trading potential capability with margin is now 1000*100=100,000 USD. The trader chooses to trade EUR/USD pair at 1,2600. He sells. The trade is now being realized like this: 100(traders' money)*100 USD=10.000 USD for this trade (100 of trader's money, 9.900 broker's). After a while the trader experienced 100 pip loss. These 100 pips accounts for 100 USD which are taken from his account. The rest 9,900 USD of the forex broker account are remaining untouched. If the trader closed his position in 1,2450 he would have lost 150 USD taken from his account. 9,900 USD of the forex company remaining as it was. The trader would have lost 150 usd which are used as insurance or collateral from the forex broker to allow him to sustain loss. If the trader bought again in 1,2700 he would have a profit of 100 USD. The profit is always yours. Your money is used by the brokers as collateral for the extra money they put in trade in order to allow you to make more profit with less money. By this way you can get leverage for your deals. If the leverage is 1:100 this means that for every dollar you put in the trade the broker adds 100, and so on for 1:400 etc. REMEMBER: Margin is the money of your account that broker uses as collateral to trade more money in order to get more profit from your trades with less money. This way you can trade e.g. 10,000 USD for only 100 USD as margin. It is as if you temporally borrow money for investment 100 times the value of your invested money using as insurance the money you invest. One trading contract is called lot. Lot sizes can vary depending on your account. If you have a mini account the lot size could be 10,000 USD. If you open a standard account the lot size can be 100,000 USD. You can trade multiple lots as long as you have the money in the account to be used as collaterals for the margin. In a mini account of 1000usd initial deposit, you can trade a maximum of 10 lots for 10,000 USD per lot. These are the basic knowledge one should master in order to start trading forex.
