It provides advisors and their&#13;<br \/>\n  clients with a professionally-managed investment solution&#13;<br \/>\n  tailored to the requirements of cross-border investing.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  The new service has been developed to address demand from&#13;<br \/>\n  intermediaries to address a gap in the market for US expats, who&#13;<br \/>\n  face restrictions when investing due to being subject to both UK&#13;<br \/>\n  and US tax rules. Many investment products available to UK&#13;<br \/>\n  investors are unsuitable for US taxpayers and the consequences of&#13;<br \/>\n  investing in the wrong assets can be punitive, the firm said in a&#13;<br \/>\n  statement. (For years, US expats were seen as a compliance burden&#13;<br \/>\n  because the IRS taxes its citizens on a worldwide, not&#13;<br \/>\n  territorial, basis.

(See an analysis&#13;<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthbriefing.com\/html\/article.php\/analysis%3A-the-american-citizen-inflow-to-uk--what%27s-driving-it\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n  here<\/a>.) Wealthy Americans also represent a major&#13;<br \/>\n  non-UK\u00a0buying demographic for prime real estate in London&#13;<br \/>\n  such as\u00a0Belgravia, Mayfair and Chelsea.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  Built by Canaccord Wealth\u2019s specialist US expat team, which has&#13;<br \/>\n  over 20 years\u2019 experience managing an advisory service for&#13;<br \/>\n  American citizens living overseas, the service aims to provide&#13;<br \/>\n  diversified investment exposure while remaining mindful of&#13;<br \/>\n  regulatory and tax considerations faced by US taxpayers who live&#13;<br \/>\n  in the UK.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  The five model portfolios \u2013 which complement the existing&#13;<br \/>\n  advisory investment service for US ex-pats \u2013\u00a0are based on&#13;<br \/>\n  the firm\u2019s core asset allocation framework, using selected&#13;<br \/>\n  vehicles intended to be suitable from an HMRC and an IRS&#13;<br \/>\n  perspective. This includes the use of US-domiciled, UK reporting&#13;<br \/>\n  funds and individual government bonds, where appropriate, helping&#13;<br \/>\n  investors comply with US Passive Foreign Investment Company&#13;<br \/>\n  (PFIC) rules, while remaining mindful of UK tax requirements. All&#13;<br \/>\n  five risk-rated models are available on Morningstar.&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  \u201cThe launch of our US-expat MPS service comes at a time when&#13;<br \/>\n  there is growing demand from intermediaries for specialist wealth&#13;<br \/>\n  management solutions for their UK-based American clients,\u201d Antony&#13;<br \/>\n  Champion, chief distribution officer at Canaccord Wealth said.&#13;<br \/>\n  \u201cFor US expats, investing is a complex area to&#13;<br \/>\n  navigate,\u00a0they face investment constraints because of their&#13;<br \/>\n  ongoing US tax obligations. Most investment solutions are not&#13;<br \/>\n  designed with cross-border tax considerations in mind and the&#13;<br \/>\n  implications for getting it wrong can be significant.\u201d&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  \u201cOur aim is to provide a solution that broadens access to&#13;<br \/>\n  investment opportunities for US ex-pats, while helping advisors&#13;<br \/>\n  and their clients manage the complexities that come with being&#13;<br \/>\n  subject to two tax systems,\u201d he continued. \u201cAs this is such a&#13;<br \/>\n  complex area, we always recommend US citizens living in the UK&#13;<br \/>\n  seek specialist tax advisory services before they consider&#13;<br \/>\n  investing.\u201d&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n  Canaccord Wealth said it has engaged an independent specialist&#13;<br \/>\n  tax consultancy to review and monitor the eligibility of&#13;<br \/>\n  investments used within the portfolios for\u00a0both US and UK&#13;<br \/>\n  tax compliance. The service is available through financial&#13;<br \/>\n  advisors and forms part of the firm\u2019s broader commitment to&#13;<br \/>\n  supporting internationally-mobile clients.&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With an increasing number of US expats relocating to the UK, UK wealth manager Canaccord Wealth has launched&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-671210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
