When assisting foreign nationals with investing in the U.S., one of the most important discussions will inevitably be the one about taxes. Whether a client or his/her business will be exposed to U.S. taxation and to what extent will depend on the residence of the client. The client might be subject to U.S. taxation on his/her worldwide income – or he/she may be subject to income tax only with respect to “U.S. source income” and income that is “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business. The session will highlight some of the areas of U.S. taxation to consider when planning for your inbound investor clients.

This workshop will explore the 3 doors of estate planning: family, charity, and the IRS. It will point out that client estates normally go through only two of the three doors – the ones they choose either consciously (through planning) or unconsciously (without planning). We will further demonstrate the planning strategies available to maximize the benefits to families and minimize if not completely zero-out the benefit to the IRS.

Financial market risks are currently high for both equity and fixed income investments. One tried and true method for managing these risks is diversification. However, markets have become increasingly correlated, reducing the benefits of diversification achieved through allocations to traditional stocks and bonds alone. Alternative investments have been in high demand as advisors and investors look for portfolio diversifiers to help smooth portfolio volatility, especially during times of crises. Jason and Maureen will discuss the importance of liquid, transparent, exchange traded alternatives.

Do you know what kills more large IRA accounts than anything else? – Admiration. Admiration kills large IRA accounts because the owner, and even the financial advisor who helped them grow the account, fail to plan for the ultimate income and potential estate taxes due on the balance. Instead, they get caught up in growing the account to the largest possible balance, admiring each statement and deriving great satisfaction from their savings and investment success. Come and learn how to leverage an IRA into a legacy asset that supports not only the owner and their spouse, but also several generations of beneficiaries.
