What is the process for opening an offshore investment account?
1. Choose a brokerage account from the list of brokerages on our website and place an order. The list can be found on the Services and Fees page. You may place the order online, you may Contact Us and place an order over the phone or you may download the Printable Order Form and send it to HFS by mail. 2. When HFS receives an order for an offshore brokerage account we will assemble the application and send it to you. The application comes with instructions and will need to be completed, signed and returned to HFS. The application is highlighted in each place that needs to be filled in (e.g. with the client’s address) or signed. When we receive the completed application back from a client, we will review the application and then forward it to the offshore brokerage. The brokerage will then open the account and send the account number and wiring instructions to the client. 3. Once the account has been opened you may make the initial deposit via wire transfer.
