Whether you are an expat building long-term wealth, a high-net-worth individual looking to protect your estate, or a parent wanting to leave a meaningful legacy, we have the expertise and the products to help you do it properly.

Our Savings & Investment Services
Tax-Free Savings Plans
A structured, regular savings plan written in trust — designed to grow your wealth while keeping it outside your taxable estate. Contributions are invested across a wide range of global funds, with loyalty bonuses and extra allocations rewarding long-term commitment. Because the plan is written in trust, it bypasses probate entirely and passes directly to your nominated beneficiaries free from Inheritance Tax.

Regular Savings Plans for Expats

Inheritance Tax Planning
Understanding how Inheritance Tax applies to your estate — especially as an expat or internationally mobile individual — is one of the most important financial decisions you can make. We help you structure your savings and investments to legitimately reduce your IHT liability and protect more of what you have built for the people who matter most.

Regular Investment Plans

Regular investment plans allow you to benefit from pound-cost averaging, long-term market growth, and the discipline of a structured contribution schedule — all within a regulated, internationally recognised framework.

Why Structure Your Savings in Trust?
One of the most powerful — and most overlooked — features of an international savings plan is the ability to write it in trust. Here is why it matters:
It removes the plan from your taxable estate. Assets held in trust are not counted when calculating Inheritance Tax. This is one of the most effective and legitimate strategies available for reducing an IHT liability.
It bypasses probate completely. When you pass away, trust-held plans pay out directly to your nominated beneficiaries — without the delays, costs, and legal complexity of the probate process. Your family gets what you intended, quickly and cleanly.
You remain in full control. You manage the investment, choose the funds, and can update your beneficiaries at any time. The trust structure protects your family without restricting you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum I need to invest?
Most plans start from as little as USD/EUR/GBP 1,200 per year, making them accessible to a wide range of investors at different stages of their financial journey.
Can I save in my own currency?
Yes. Plans are available in US Dollars, Euros, and British Pounds — allowing you to align your savings with your income currency and avoid unnecessary exchange rate risk.
Does writing the plan in trust affect my control over it?
No. You retain full control of the investment throughout the term. You choose the funds, manage contributions, and can update your nominated beneficiaries at any time.
Is this suitable if I am not UK domiciled?
Yes. While the trust structure is particularly valuable for UK-domiciled individuals who remain within the scope of Inheritance Tax regardless of where they live, these plans are available to international investors across a wide range of jurisdictions. Our advisers will assess your specific circumstances and domicile status before making any recommendations.
How do loyalty bonuses work?
Loyalty bonuses are credited to your plan at the end of years 10, 15, 20, and 25 — provided all contributions have been maintained within the grace period with no decreases or partial withdrawals. The bonus at year 10 is 7.5% of total contributions for that period, with 5% bonuses credited at each subsequent milestone.
