4. If you are planning to retire abroad, you need to
give serious thought to how your pension will
provide you with the financial support and security
that you need.
As an expatriate living overseas, there are a number
of international investment possibilities that you
may want to consider. There are many beneficial
investments available to expatriate retirees that
could provide you with a supplementary income,
or even additional tax-free earnings.
International pensions can provide more benefits
than local pensions, such as greater tax efficiency.
Additionally, overseas pensions remain inheritance
tax-free and can be passed on to your beneficiaries
in whole in the event of your death.
Acuma recommends that you start planning your
retirement as soon as you can in order to make
sure that you and your family have the financial
coverage and support that you need in the future.

5. A good education is one of the most cherished and
long-lasting gifts that you can give to your children
- and you will want to make sure that you give
yours the very best.
With education costs climbing every year, it is
important to acknowledge the price of a good
education, especially if there is more than one child
in your family. Therefore, it is more important than
ever to plan ahead and make sure that you have
enough funds to meet these costs.
Planning in advance can provide you with the
financial security and peace of mind, allowing
you to rest assured that your children will get the
quality education that you want for them.

7. Life insurance is an essential part of any well
thought out long-term financial plan, as it
provides you with the serenity that your family
and loved ones will be protected no matter what
circumstances come your way.
A major concern for most people in the event of a
premature death is whether their family will be able
to maintain their lifestyle. They want to make sure
that their children’s education will not suffer and
that any outstanding loans and debts will be paid.
However, the type of international life insurance
you need varies from case to case, and you need
to assess the level of insurance required in order
for your family to maintain the same standards of
living in the event of your death.
Acuma understands the complexities of finding an
international life insurance plan that is adapted to
your needs.

Whether you’re looking for a gorgeous seaside
property where you can spend your time off as a
retired expat, or a canny property investor who’s
looking to make the most out of your portfolio
assets, property investment is one of the most
common and lucrative ways to invest your hard-earned
cash.
Our vast property portfolio boasts a diverse choice
of international properties that are ideal as a
second home or as a buy-to-let investment.
There are numerous benefits to investing in
property from portfolio diversification to inflation
hedging. However, if you decide to let your
property, it is likely that the money you receive
from your tenants will be enough to cover your
mortgage payments. Meaning that you can sit back
and watch your property grow in value without the
cost of a mortgage.
