User Don, who might chime in with some info here later on, has pointed me out to the estonian limited partnership that could act as umbrella for investments.

as i understand it, you can set it up and either be the General Partner with someone acting as Limited Partner where GP could be the manager of the "fund". Or you could be LP and GP would be a hired management firm.
Either way, this LP could then "invest" into A Cyprus or UAE company to trade stocks. The proftis would then be distributed to the parent, this LP, and then they would get distributed to the partners and taxed at their place of residence instead of Estonia.
If i︀ understand it correctly, this allows for the control to be set in estonia but taxation︁ to be set wherever you are located. In other words, if I would take the︂ cyprus-malaysia example from my initial post, the cyprus company would be used to trade stocks.︃ the estonian LP would own this cyprus company. at the end of the year, the︄ profits from the cyprus company would be distributed to the estonian parent company but they︅ wold not be taxed there. instead they would be distributed to me, in malaysia, where︆ they would be taxed as gains on capital with 0% tax. so the LP allows︇ to split the control, that would usually cause the company to be taxed at my︈ place of tax residence, and the taxation of the profits, which can be exempt under︉ CGT.
which is like a hammer for the "control" aspect of international business that causes︊ so much trouble.
i will research this more but i am quite hopeful
