 As the president of Aquafinancial Consulting in Calgary,
Alberta, Adewale Gbalajobi strives to help clients optimize
investment returns while minimizing tax responsibilities. To
this end, Adewale Gbalajobi regularly identifies and
pursues offshore opportunities.
When investing in the United States, a brokerage firm must
by law complete due diligence on any new security
product. The brokerage must examine the product issuer's
complete financial record as well as any other information
of potential interest to the investor. Because companies in
the United States are required to file certain reports with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, this information
is most often readily available.
 Non-U.S. companies, however, are not
necessarily required by their own federal
governments to compile such information.
The data that is on public record for a U.S.
company may be difficult and expensive to
obtain for a foreign entity. However, it is
essential for the responsible broker to
source this information before
recommending an investment, as an
unreliable offshore company may prove
disastrous to a client's portfolio.
 It is also important to avoid offshore
companies that have questionable social
or environmental business practices. These
are often uncovered during the due
diligence process and can impact the
investor's final decisions. It is well worth the
broker's time to complete these
investigations and verify investment in a
legitimate company, for the sake of both
the investor and the brokerage.

Onshore vs. Offshore Investment Due Diligence

  • 1.
  • 2.  As the president of Aquafinancial Consulting in Calgary, Alberta, Adewale Gbalajobi strives to help clients optimize investment returns while minimizing tax responsibilities. To this end, Adewale Gbalajobi regularly identifies and pursues offshore opportunities. When investing in the United States, a brokerage firm must by law complete due diligence on any new security product. The brokerage must examine the product issuer's complete financial record as well as any other information of potential interest to the investor. Because companies in the United States are required to file certain reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, this information is most often readily available.
  • 3.  Non-U.S. companies, however, are not necessarily required by their own federal governments to compile such information. The data that is on public record for a U.S. company may be difficult and expensive to obtain for a foreign entity. However, it is essential for the responsible broker to source this information before recommending an investment, as an unreliable offshore company may prove disastrous to a client's portfolio.
  • 4.  It is also important to avoid offshore companies that have questionable social or environmental business practices. These are often uncovered during the due diligence process and can impact the investor's final decisions. It is well worth the broker's time to complete these investigations and verify investment in a legitimate company, for the sake of both the investor and the brokerage.
