¿Which brokers are willing to accept offshore companies,trusts,family offices or foundations?

When going offshore there is a huge difference for brokers between a day trader looking to reduce legally his tax burden operating futures and options through an offshore Seychelles company or a wealthy individual looking to diversificate & protect his wealth investing in ETFs,hedge funds,bonds and stocks through a Cook Islands trust,a Panama family office or a Liechtenstein Foundation.

The jurisdiction's choice of the setup specially affect in which brokers you can open an account; some brokers would refuse to open an account for an entity incorporated in Panama but accept one incorporated in Seychelles and for other brokers would be exactly the opposite. Also nationality and even residency of the beneficial owners of the offshore setup could be a problem when oppening a brokerage account. A broker can reject opening you an account if you are considered to be resident in a high jurisdiction. The list could change depending of the broker. Venezuelans,Cubans,Russians and even Americans can have a hard time opening a brokerage account for an offshore setup

As a day trader myself I found what I would call a one-fits-all solution that accept almost all type of offshore setups available in the market as well as high risk nationalities and/or residents, obviously with a enhanced Due Diligence focused specially in origin of funds sent to the brokerage account. In my case I used a Seychelles IBC that I will use for trading & holding purposes 

 

 The broker I'm using have offices in London,Cyprus,Malta and Hong Kong, enjoying a wide selection of jurisdictions we can choose when opening an account. It's specially interesting the Hong Kong office,that allows european investors to buy american ETF that otherwise they cannot buy due to restrictions introduced by MiFID II

Fes as well is one of the most important fees when selecting a broker; in the case of the broker I'm using,fees are very low for what most of brokers are offering nowadays. The only problem with this broker is that minimum deposit is high and depends of the offices in which you open an account. Here you have a list with the minimum deposit required for opening an account depending of type of account and office:

For  individuals:

Cyprus-10,000 EUR

United Kingdom-10,000 EUR

Malta-50,000 EUR

Hong Kong-HK$100,000

For Corporate:

Cyprus- 50,000 EUR

United Kingdom- 50,000 EUR

Malta- 50,000 EUR
