There are compelling reasons for investing offshore

1. On average the rand has depreciated by approximately 6% p.a over a rolling 5 year period contributing to an offshore investment’s overall rand return

2. The analysis shows that the exchange rate between the rand and the dollar/euro when you first invest in an                                    offshore investment doesn’t have a big effect on the overall long-term return. This analysis looks at whether the rand had gone up or down in value over the previous year, which gives an idea of how investors think the currency will perform in the future. However, the findings suggest that this factor doesn’t have a significant impact on the overall returns you can expect from your offshore investment over a longer period of time.

3. When investing offshore, investors should therefor take a longer-term view and more importantly carefully choose where it is that you invest.

4. A shrewd investment offshore, as part of a portfolio diversification, may enhance returns and reduce risk of a single currency exposure which may be impacted by currency depreciation or political events
