"If I am going understand correcting best option will be iShares Preferred & Income Securities ETF" Preferred are between bonds and stocks, but unfortunately when market falls, preferred falls harder than world stocks (i.e. -70% in 2008-2009). In term of risk/reward I prefer world stock index...

I understand that most of professionals will tell me that a company will be better for protection... in order to sale expensive services. I've seen in the last years some examples in my country of origin: if a state want to seize a part or even all, they are able to do it even with complex...

For Swissquote, there is swissquote.ch BUT also swissquote.lu (ex Internaxx). IB, Saxobank, Flatex, Degiro (DegiroFlatex now), Tradestation (standard and "global"), Tastyworks, Schwab, Cornertrader, Investoreurope, Bourse Direct, Oblis.be (bonds), IG, XTB, ...

The initial question of OP is about securities (stocks/bonds)... no problem with CFC rules or source from Mauritius companies.

Mauritius. No CGT even if remitted. Dividends/interests: no tax if not remitted or if at least 15% of witholding tax already applied.

When you hear "winter is coming": run away from Malta! Best months are june and september (cooler than july-august and less tourists)

Proof of funds to meet the cost of stay in Mauritius (minimum amount of USD 1500/EUR 1300 per month for each applicant and minimum amount of USD 500/EUR 400 per month for each dependent below 24 years old) Proof of funds can be in the form of a bank statement/bank attestation or an employment...

"best" is not the good word and it's just your point of view. Rule of a "big country" can change overnight too. Mauritius is quite stable with their financial rules.

Details about this visa premium: https://www.edbmauritius.org/premium-visa This website is the official of the EDB in Mauritius, therefore details provided are reliable. If you need more information about taxes for instance, you can check the mra.mu website too PS: for the Covid-19 free...

Yes, I live there now after some years in Antilles and Malta.

not very complicated (self-employed) if it's in IT sector for instance. Now it's easier with the premium visa. For the cost of living, see examples here: Cost of Living in Mauritius but it depends on several factors (expat areas in the north are more expensive, international schools, european...

remitance basis: you are not taxed on your worlwide income if not remitted in Mauritius. The digital nomad visa is new and called "premium visa" (and not only focused on digital nomads). Retiree for +50 years old, very low requirements. Real estate Investor 375k usd. ... more requirements...

Mauritius : french/english spoken Remittance basis scheme. No capital gain tax even if remitted. Lots of residency programs (investor, self-employed, retiree, real estate investors, visa premium) Same climate and way of life than lots of caraibbean islands (where I lived too) but with...

For 100k, ETFs "buy and hold" : 0.10% custodian fees, 0.25% purchases (not as bad in comparison with Saxo, Corner), but more expensive than IB, Degiro, Flatex. Swissquote.lu is interesting with more than +150k (fixed 45EUR fees quaterly).

I have lots of brokers accounts in order to spread risks, and IE is only one of them. This is just my opinion but I feel more confident with brokers in jurisdiction like Switzerland (ie Swisquote.ch, Cornertrader), Luxembourg (Swissquote.lu [ex Internaxx]), Germany (Flatex)... than Mauritius.

If I'm not wrong the pricing is 15-20%, very expensive solution.

It's the trading platform of Saxo. No relationship with Saxo in terms of guarantees.

Saxo bank white label. Such as Cornertrader. Nothing special to say.

If you have a Seychelles IBC (for instance) as director/shareholder and if you use uniquely cryptos without FIAT withdrawals, you don't need to verify (KYC) your crypto-exchange account (i.e. Binance). With this setup (without bank account), I don't see how you can loose your privacy.

About Seychelles IBC, I've a question if it's possible to avoid bank account opening (hard, expensive) by using stablecoins. For instance, consulting invoices paid to IBC Seychelles with USDT, and dividends paid to shareholders in USDT too? No bank account is needed in this case but is it legal...
