Introduction

If you’re an investor who saw offshore as off limits, there’s never been a better time to change your view. The Glacier Offshore Investment Plan is an investment solution which offers you the opportunity to invest offshore, accessing different markets and currencies with simplicity, flexibility and affordable investment minimums.

  1. Minimum contribution

    • R100,000 or R5,000 monthly recurring.

    • Any additional investment is subject to a minimum of R15,000.

Why

The benefits of investing offshore

By diversifying your portfolio across various countries, regions, sectors and  economies, you can benefit from growth opportunities offered by a wide range  of industries, companies, currencies and investment philosophies. Diversifying your assets results in improved returns over the long term.  Diversifying outside South Africa can also shield your portfolio from depreciation of the rand, which tends to be a volatile currency.
