Solid currency with tax deferral for Americans & many others

One very important benefit of using an annuity for strategic financial planning is tax related. An annuity permits tax deferrals on the investor's savings which translates into assets growing faster than would be the case if another investment vehicle were to be used. As stated earlier, annuities are used for a variety of financial planning objectives, but they are most often thought of in terms of retirement planning.

The case for Switzerland and the Swiss franc

Investing in Swiss francs is, simply stated, the best road to international diversification. The turbulence in global equity markets does not alter the case for investing in safe, fixed-income instruments abroad. In fact, it underlines the importance of having Swiss franc denominated annuities in an investment portfolio -- an investment which Adam Starchild describes in great detail in Swiss Money Secrets. If your tolerance for Wall Street's volatility is running out or if you wish to fortify your portfolio against a worldwide crash, you would be well-advised to look into these crash-proof investments.

The Ultimate Safe and Profitable Investment

If no-risk is as much risk as you're willing to absorb, you should know about a unique, tax-free annuity that's completely private, in a country world renown as a bastion of safety and privacy. What's more, the profits are guaranteed by the nation's government. Hold it in any currency you choose -- Swiss francs, German marks, U.S. dollars -- and change whenever you wish, as often as you like. Over the last 25 years, this strong, safe annuity averaged over 10% yield annually. That yield, combined with currency gains, would have turned a $50,000 investment in 1971 into $633,100 today; a 955% gain -- with absolutely no risk. (A U.S. annuity at the same rate of interest would be worth a mere $169,300 today.) You'll find the details on this investment in Swiss Money Secrets.

Why would you ever need a Swiss bank account?

I'll have to say, you probably don't need one. If you've ever found a gadget that made your life easier, admit, you didn't really need it -- you just wonder how you ever got along without it. An account with a Swiss private bank is, of course, more than a fancy gadget: It brings you to a higher plane of financial service. Your portfolio of global stocks and bonds is tailored to your needs and managed for you by Swiss banking professionals. As such it provides privacy, greater flexibility, significant tax efficiencies, risk control and higher returns over the long-run than a domestic mutual fund portfolio. If you think you'd like to make your financial life easier, read how it's done in Adam Starchild's Swiss Money Secrets.

Great financial talent

As I said in my own book, The Offshore Update, published by Eden Press: Of all the financial experts who have demonstrated literary talent, Adam Starchild is perhaps the least appreciated. This is unfortunate because Starchild is not only a lucid writer -- he is also a credible and conscientious reporter working in an area that until recently has belonged in the same chapter of financial literature with Fort Knox, Howard Hughes, and the Gnomes of Switzerland
