How our financial experts can help you

Expat Pensions

If retiring overseas is your dream, then you need to make sure you can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle for the long term. And that requires some careful pension planning and advice. Pensions can be managed by you or your employer. For expats and those with larger UK pensions pots there is the additional option of a ROPS (Recognised Overseas Pension Plan) which enables you to transfer your UK pension and take advantage of a number of benefits.

Inheritance Planning

Inheritance tax and beneficiary rules differ from country to country and unfortunately, some expats have found themselves financially disadvantaged following the death of a loved one. Beacon Global Wealth have been providing estate planning advice to expats for over 15 years. We have the expertise in French, Spanish, Irish and Portuguese estate planning regulations and we can help you make the right choices to safeguard your family.

Investment Planning

Expat investments differ from those offered to UK residents, and expert advice is essential to help you negotiate the often complex and confusing investment options available to you.
