US Compliant Investments

FATCA-Friendly Investment Opportunities

US Compliant Investments

Since 2012 all foreign banks and financial institutions have a legal obligation to disclose the balance and assets of any American clients to the IRS (following the implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliant Act, or FATCA).

FATCA stipulates that American citizens living abroad cannot invest in any form of PFIC (or Passive Foreign Investment Company); this includes funds, unit trusts and certain pension arrangements.

Since FATCA’s introduction, a number of investment providers have worked to stay within the new rules, and it is now possible for American citizens living internationally to access a limited number of US-compliant investments.

Unsurprisingly, it's a pretty complex subject.

The team here at IWP are well-versed in suitable investment options for American investors. Together, we'll explore your options and give you honest, unbiased advice to get the best return on your investment.

How we calculated your results

This projection uses fixed assumptions for tax, inflation and investment returns at retirement to calculate how much you will need to retire/become financially independent.

Next Steps

Shortfall? Not ideal, but at least now you know, and it's time to start doing something about it.

Over what you need for retirement? Great, but you're not there yet!

In either case, if you can optimise and either retire sooner (or with more money), there's no reason not to.

We can help you model different scenarios, tailored to your unique situation. Different countries, different income levels, and early retirement all mean different currencies, inflation, and tax considerations.

Every day you wait is one less day to save for retirement. Take action now - get in touch with us here or call us on +41 (0) 44 552 12 12 to take ownership and secure your future.

How to use this retirement calculator

  1. Enter your current age, income after taxes, current savings, and how much you save each month (after bills and expenses).
  2. Average return on savings = For example, assume 1% for cash, 5% for investments, or 3% if you have a mixture of both.
  3. Next, enter the amount of your current income you would like at retirement. For example, someone receiving CHF 10,000/month may want CHF 6,500 - or 65% - of their current income at retirement.
  4. Lastly, enter the number of 1st pillar contributions you will have made by retirement. For example, if you've paid 5 years' 1st pillar contributions until today, and expect to pay in for a further 20 years, enter 25 years. Based on the Swiss state pension.

Your targets

  1. Enter the age you would like to retire.
  2. Use the Age slider above to increase and decrease the age; when the bar chart showing 'You will have' and 'You will need' are the same, that is your expected age of retirement.
