Welcome...Your Freedom Awaits You...Welcome to the world of investing in mutual funds, more specifically, freedom through investing in offshore mutual funds. Here is my story on how I got into offshore mutual fund investing. 
From the desk of Alwyn Beikoff Dear Fellow Investor, We’ve never met but if
you're reading this we probably share a common interest. That interest is in achieving complete and total freedom.
Now that can mean a lot of different things for different people.
To me it's doing what I want when I want wherever I want. I realise a native in the jungle might be free - in some ways maybe even more so than people in
'advanced cultures where life is restricted more and more by rules and laws and the ever-watchful eye of 'Big Brother'.
In industrialized cultures it takes money to have freedom (unless you're totally happy squatting in a humpy on someone else's beachfront property and living on fish). To gain freedom you have to know how to get the freedom currency and how to use it to grant yourself more freedom. So ours is an interest in making our money work for us rather than the other way around. Sadly most people are so busy working for money to pay for a few lousy bills that they never achieve the financial life of their dreams. Life is an endless circle of giving most of your best time to others who pay you minimal wages and then the Taxman takes a swag of it. Then you give most of what’s left to other people for various products and services. The little bit that you manage to save up and invest gets eaten up by poor returns, fees and the bill from your investment advisor! No wonder you feel you’ll never get ahead! You've become a slave whose freedom consists of a couple of rest days before you go out to get some more money to survive in modest comfort a little longer. This is not freedom.
How do I know this? Because I’ve been there. For thirty years I struggled to get ahead. Progress was painfully slow. Whenever I’d make a win, something would come along to set me back again. This made me feel a bit desperate at times and guilty that I hadn’t ‘made the grade’ as I’d hoped. Unknown to me I was reinforcing the very pattern and beliefs which kept me stuck in one of those ‘lives of quiet desperation’ that most folk lead. I started with term deposits for my meagre savings. I also had some mutual fund deposits through insurance but I soon realized I’d never get in the 'financial freedom club' on those returns!
Next came gemstones… not a good move. Although now my wife has a small fortune in set gemstones which I couldn’t sell for what they are supposedly worth anyway. So much for valuation and authentication certificates! Then I tried bullion. Now it was certainly nice to touch solid gold and to have a silver bar wrapped in newspaper as our doorstop (not that anyone knew it) but again, it wasn't my ticket into the 'financial freedom club'. So, into real estate I go. This time I’m smarter because I attend seminars and read more books and talk to others who “know” about real estate. Now we have to admit that some people are more astute than others and are able to “pick the market”, pick a great buy in the right location, know what to do with the property and then, exactly when to sell it. If you are one of those people that’s great but DON’T STOP READING THIS YET! There's a secret wealth place where you can make your gains grow even more and still invest in property if that's what you love to do. Now don't get me wrong. Property investing, IF DONE CORRECTLY is terrific for growing wealth over the long term. In fact I think it should be the cornerstone of your investment portfolio. Good properties in good locations yield rentals which result in ever growing equity which can be used for more property. The profits from offshore funds, when taken can be used for more property as well as more offshore investments. Anyway, back to my story: after several years of collecting rents, and maintaining properties over a period which was not exactly a great capital growth period I was forced to sell by the bank. The reason was because I was wanting to go into a business but the bank deemed I did not have enough liquidity. That can be a problem with real estate. My money, but the banks control it. After that came shares. After all they were more liquid and I had found a Guru who had been very successful with a proven track record in the local market for many years. All I had to do was follow his recommendations to buy and sell when he said. Well that was easier said than done and after a few more years I was still quite dissatisfied with the returns I was making. Wealth through investment continued to elude me… Then one day I discovered a shocking truth… You can make 60% or Even More On Your Investments! After experiencing returns ranging from negative to a measly 12% this was almost unbelievable news. That’s when I started to learn what I was lacking. Firstly, the knowledge I had was incomplete. The ‘experts’ I had been learning from and taking advice from weren’t giving me the full story. (Mostly this was because they didn’t know the truth themselves.) But they were also guided significantly by their own self interest. They made money if I followed their advice even if I lost because of that advice. Most shocking to me was discovering that my own government and banks didn’t want me to know about and actually discouraged knowledge of a field of investment that has been used by the wealthy for decades and which is available now to ordinary people… the world of offshore investing.
Secondly I didn’t have the contacts who knew the truth about safe offshore investing. Like most people and my financial advisers, I thought offshore investing was risky. In reality it’s no riskier than investing onshore. Once my eyes were opened up to the truth I did discover however that investing offshore was just as difficult as investing onshore simply because of the tens of thousands of possible places to invest. Then I discovered the contacts who could make it easy and simple. With access to information about the world’s top performing investment funds, choosing where best to put my money became much easier. I now have more peace of mind, my money is growing for me and when I choose to stop being busy (because that's how I am) I have more time to lay around if that's what I want to do.
Because I found the whole offshore scene rather complicated, I decided to create this website to help ordinary people find their way through the offshore maze more easily. Most offshore websites are quite confusing to the newbie. So here I've gathered knowledge you need about offshore investing. More specifically, it's about investing in offshore mutual funds. I've tried to put it in an easy to understand way. It's knowledge to get you started safely and easily. I've also got access to research on top mutual funds which can make your offshore mutual fund investment adventure very worthwhile. Good contacts can mean the difference between successful investing in mutual funds offshore or disappointment in offshore mutual fund investing. So feel free to have a good look around and check out the details on this exclusive information source now and start making YOUR money really work FOR YOU. See you on the beach, Sincerely, Alwyn Beikoff
P.S. If you want to learn more about this knowledge that is kept from you and the general public, have a read of the Hidden Wealth Report about financial freedom. P.S. There is another vitally important piece of knowledge that I was missing as well. That was, how my own thinking patterns contribute to what I get in life.
Your thinking plays as much a role as your knowledge and your contacts. It can play an important part in your
offshore wealth creation. My Money Ideas ezine frequently covers this aspect of your wealth generation.
