Invest Offshore in UCITS Funds

What are UCITS Funds?


A growing number of investors are including hedge funds and other alternative strategies within their portfolios as a way of providing better portfolio diversification during adverse market conditions, as well as potentially boosting risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

However, the recent financial crisis and a number of high profile fraud cases have highlighted challenges associated with the traditional hedge fund structure, particularly the lack of liquidity, transparency and effective regulation. For retail investors, higher barriers to entry due to minimum investment size can also make gaining exposure to hedge funds difficult.

As a result, investors are increasingly turning to regulated open-ended funds, such as those covered by the European Union’s UCITS regulations, as a way to gain easier, more liquid, and more transparent exposure to alternative investment strategies.

UCIT Funds are not marketed to US Investors who Invest Offshore, nor are SIF: Specialized Investment Funds (3 Trillion invested worldwide), or AIFMD funds (16 Trillion is currently invested in AIFMD funds globally). None of these 3 investment classes are available to USA person’s, when Investing Offshore BUT they are ALL available when Investing FROM an Offshore Investment Account.

Most American’s are totally confused as to why there are problems for them when they want an Investment Account that is Outside the U.S.A..
