Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Global Investing for Maximum Profit and Safety is an adventurous guide to international investing; one might even say a reckless one. To the usual reasons for investing overseas--to diversify and to profit from fast growth in emerging markets--author Jerome Schneider adds a new one: to evade the law. His previous book, The Complete Guide to Offshore Money Havens, explained how to keep money away from ex-wives and creditors by stashing it in banks in discreet locales such as the island of Montserrat. This dodge, which Schneider euphemistically calls "wealth protection," is again on his mind but now with the aim of making that protected wealth grow. He touts the unique advantages of investing in mutual funds headquartered in foreign countries where regulation is lax. "Offshore funds can invest in absolutely anything they want," Schneider enthuses, because they "legally circumvent" the "overzealous review" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This is supposed to be encouraging. Of course, offshore funds cannot legally sell shares to U.S. investors, so the help of an intermediary is needed. And Schneider is not above pointing out that he happens to operate such a service out of Vancouver, B.C. His hyped-up, overconfident, irresponsible book is little more than an infomercial. --Barry Mitzman

2.0 out of 5 stars Another sales job by Schneider and guess who he's selling?, June 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Global Investing for Maximum Profit and Safety: Think Globally - Diversify Your Investment Income to Take Advantage of the Booming Worldwide Economy (Hardcover)

This book explains the basics of offshore investing after doing his usual slamming of US policies, taxes and the US stock markets. Again like, his last book, he gives you the "Schneider Approach"... This latest book makes some...preposterous statements such as "Although US markets cannot offer you the chance to get rich on Wall Street." but later talks about Warren Buffett who did exactly that and is now worth over $20 billion US. He then touts offshore markets in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong but then rates them all as to either proceed caution, or as not recommended, that is all except for Malaysia which he gives a "Highest rating." I have read many MUCH BETTER books on the subject of offshore investing offered by Amazon Books.

Well the author, Jerome Schneider went to jail for six months and received a $100,000 fine AND turned over some 1072 clients to the IRS and the Department of Justice for helping people with the illegal bits. Stay away from the advice
