Book Description

September 2002
This book is written for the serious person of means who wants safety and performance from invested wealth.

No matter where you live or what economic and political hazards your country of residence presents to investment you owe it to yourself to consider Switzerland as the place to put your hard-earned money, especially in the Swiss insurance annuity. In my experience a comparison of the Swiss annuity with more traditional forms of asset protection shows that an annuity can serve the same function as trusts or similar legal devices but produces a far greater return for your money with complete safety and less complexity.

Here we are concerned with personal wealth, its creation, expansion and preservation. In that context it is not understatement to describe the Swiss financial system's unequaled world record as unique in combining investor safety with assured earnings. Thoughtful people who value financial freedom and asset protection know this well. The question is why any serious foreign investor fails to avail himself of the many benefits of the Swiss system. The answer is; the serious investor never fails!

Every person should plan for the important aspects of their financial life. One major area is estate planning which hopefully will insure that at the time of death property passes without incident according to the deceased's wishes. The second area is lifetime financial planning which seeks to build and manage an investable estate to provide assets and income. The third area, the one I will address, is asset protection, an indispensable element without which the other two can be rendered meaningless.

This is one of the first books to discuss the portfolio bond, an insurance product offered by companies in Switzerland, which offers significant asset protection, tax and privacy advantages for American investors.

2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and not much info, March 3, 2004

This review is from: Swiss Bank Accounts and Investment Management: Your Own Completely-Legal, Super Safe, Tax-Free Offshore Account -- And Not Even the IRS Has to Know (Paperback)
Like Adam Starchild's book, "Swiss Money Secrets", this book does not mention any disadvantages or drawbacks of the subject - there are only advantages. Second of all, most of the information is outdated. Althought the book was published in 2002, nearly all the information came from 1992 or 1993. Falkayn is still talking about the "new" Clinton administration and is still describing the poor economy in the US - remember this is the early 90's.

He tells the reader how bad the American system is by how much debt the US has, how poor the quality of education is, the amount of poverty, their broken health care system, their illiteracy rate, etc. Faklayn then uses this to persuade the reader to invest in Switzerland. He describes the advantages of different Swiss investments such as annuities, bonds, and trusts, but does not really describe how to get involved in those investments. I am left as clueless about Swiss investments before reading this book as well as after reading the book.

This review is from: Swiss Bank Accounts and Investment Management: Your Own Completely-Legal, Super Safe, Tax-Free Offshore Account -- And Not Even the IRS Has to Know (Paperback)
While the root concepts explored in this book are somewhat relevant, the tone is bland and the info is quite out of date. The copyright is 2002 but the text was obviously written between 1991-92. There in no mention of the MLAT treaty which Switzerland has signed since this was published. Keep looking.
