Investing Advice for Non Resident

Hi,

Looking for advice on where to invest 15 to 20+k a year for 20 years which needs to generate income for retirement, (I have about £15k in a UK pension which i haven't paid into for over 10 years)

I am a UK expat (Non resident, pay no tax), been away from the UK over 6+ years, i own a property in the UK which is rented (13 years left on the mortgage). I live in SE asia, married to a local, kids (house bought & paid for here)

I wanted to buy more properties in the UK, but really need an investment that needs a minimum amount of effort to look after, and low to medium risk

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Speak to an independent financial adviser without a doubt. For that sort of money you really should get an expert on your side!

    Don't forget your worldwide estate remains subject to UK inheritance tax so you may need a trust.

    You will also want advice on local tax implications as well.
  • Thanks for the prompt reply.

    Any IFA recommendations?

    https://www.unbiased.co.uk should find you a few IFAs. Go to at least a couple and see if they more or less agree.

    Depending on your mortgage T&C's and tax issues, it may be worth considering putting some of your money towards your UK mortgage. Ask an IFA for advice on this.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    It may be extremely difficult to get a UK IFA willing to advise outside of the UK any more following the passporting requirements introduced under MiFiD...
