Investing in offshore markets is an important consideration for South Africans looking to secure their financial future through investment solutions. With local markets providing historically low returns, there has been an increased interest in investing offshore.
There are many important considerations when investing offshore, but investors often tend to focus their attention exclusively on the Exchange Rate. Many are reluctant to invest when the Rand has weakened. The benefits of investing offshore often tend to outweigh potential gains made by trying to time the investment decision.
