    Company Structure Setup

    If you're a resident in Sweden, then you might be able to structure something: Entities formed/registered/incorporated outside of Sweden (foreign legal entities) are not considered resident in Sweden for income tax purposes, not even if their place of effective management is situated in Sweden.

    How to open USA bank account for offshore company

    Which private banks would those be? The bank account is not the relevant factor, it's the fact that you have registered as a foreign business in a state and stated that your "company invests in US assets/securities".

    How to open USA bank account for offshore company

    I completely agree with this. There are three things that stand out for me here: 1) There is no treaty protection - so you are at the mercy of the IRS if they believe the company is engaged in a trade or business in the US. 2) By registering this company in a US state, you potentially now...

    Transferwise

    EIN/ITIN are just identification numbers, however they put you on the radar. You said that your company is incorporated in the BVI. If your company has business activities in the United States (including virtual), you may be required to file an annual return with the IRS. The absence of a DTT...

    Place of Management

    You would have control through a declaration of trust. You would be listed, I believe, as a person of significant control. I don't think there is any way around this.
