Is Offshore Investing Worth It? Weighing the Risks and Rewards

“The world is changing, and not for the better.”

We’ve been telling our clients this for years, and it’s truer today than ever. The dollar has lost around 5% of its value versus the currencies of our major trading partners in the last two months. And it’s on very brittle foundations. The government keeps racking up debt. And US markets look shakier than they have in a long time. When things look like this, keeping all your money in one country—especially one with big problems—feels pretty risky.

The Nestmann Group has benefited from this feeling, of course. For the first time, many of our clients are looking at offshore investing to protect their hard-earned money. But many people ask us: “Is it really worth all the hassle?” With more rules to follow, more paperwork to file, and more costs to pay, it’s fair to wonder if the good parts still outweigh the bad.

Today, we’ll give you a no-nonsense look at offshore investing in 2025. We’ll show you the real benefits, the honest challenges, and help you figure out if it makes sense for you.

This isn’t like those sales pitches you hear at fancy conferences or see on slick websites. This is straight talk based on what we’ve learned from helping real people protect their wealth for over 40 years.
