    What countries make the most sense Tax Wise for my situaton?

    With the GRP you do not declare any of your global income to the Malta tax authorities - only the amounts that are remitted to the country, so basically for us it's the amount for the prepaid minimum tax, the rent, and fees for our agent. We don't bring any other cash into Malta and therefore...

    What countries make the most sense Tax Wise for my situaton?

    The Malta Global Residence Program (GRP) is available to you. You get a permanent residence in Malta (but you do not need to spend any time there), you get a tax ID (which solves for the issue of the Canadian tax office still coming after you to pay taxes if they discover you have no tax...

    How will you invest Today , You have 1 Million Dollar to Invest ?

    SDIV - it's still a US listed ETF - but the composition is made of the 100 highest yield shares in the world (about 1/3 in the US). Currently yielding about 12% or so. Ah - you already mentioned SDIV! I hold a fair chunk in that that, it's a good one.

    How will you invest Today , You have 1 Million Dollar to Invest ?

    Depends on what you are looking for. Income, growth, or a little bit of both. But for me, I'd be going in for income and pick $RYLD which is currently delivering ~13% yield. Lock it in and expect to get around $130k income a year. If you are not a US tax payer - then your tax on that can be...

    Where would you invest 750k USD?

    If you don't know that a fund is raising, it's actually as simple as contacting the fund and asking if they have an open fund and are taking on new LPs (investors). Like many businesses, VCs are constantly in the hunt for new money. The more successful ones have a larger minimum commit - so it...

    Where would you invest 750k USD?

    Depends on your age and time frame. Something to consider is investing a chunk (30-50%) in a top performing VC fund. The rest - in an S&P500 ETF. The VC will lock up your cash for up to 10 years - but will typically outperform all other asset classes. I had a large exit a few years back and I...

    Anyone opened Schwab International Account with a Malta Residency?

    I've had no issues with them at this stage. It seems that it is a weird internal Schwab policy - not a legal restriction.

    A Contrarian Analysis: Will Putin Survive?

    then you obviously do not understand the importance of unfiltered, real time information. Yeah, totally Ukraine's fault for wanting to have some alliance for protection against Russian aggression. Then again totally their fault for Russia invading

    Anyone opened Schwab International Account with a Malta Residency?

    Thanks - it's certainly the fall back option. Already have Tradestation and IBKR accounts - but I like the Schwab refund of all debit card uses in ATMs globally!

    Anyone opened Schwab International Account with a Malta Residency?

    I'm just finalising my Malta GRP and was about to provide new residency details to Schwab International - but on their website it says they don't open accounts for Malta residents. I don't want to ask them directly at this stage in case they close my account, and there is basically no info...
