The advent of internet and the trend on globalization, investing abroad was made easy. In the current financial climate, where banking associations are lobbying for charging a fee to keep one’s money in the banks, it is prudent to invest where the wealth grows. Tucking away money in banks is for wimps. Investing in one’s on country or abroad, makes the money work harder. There are a number of countries, where the potential return will be much higher. This can be in trust funds, ETF, commodities,shares and in bricks and mortar. In foreign investment, capital flows from one country to another. Of course there will be more risks in investing abroad than in one’s own country, due to political situation, change in demography and fluctuation of currency. But for a shrewd investor, the return can be very high.
