Overview

Why international investment structures are the best choice for traders and investors

Whether you trade short-term, invest long-term or combine both — the right company structure determines your tax burden, your access to brokers and the security of your capital.

Through Hong Kong and Singapore you can invest in practically all asset classes — stocks, bonds, ETFs, digital assets, precious metals and even real estate. There are no restrictions on what a Hong Kong or Singapore company may invest in. Multiple asset classes can be combined in a single company — with up to 0% tax on capital gains.

The platforms and brokers at these locations are strictly regulated. These are not dubious constructs but established, licensed financial service providers under the supervision of recognized regulatory authorities. Those who stick to regulated platforms have the security that nothing is likely to go wrong.

For larger wealth we offer access to private banks in Singapore, Liechtenstein and Switzerland — with professional wealth management, discretion and first-class service. Through Labuan (Malaysia) there is additionally a flexible structure with very low taxation for holding and investment companies.

Capital, trading and investment activity should be reviewed before problems appear

Trading and investment activity can create tax, reporting, banking and documentation consequences depending on residence, asset type, holding structure and transaction flow. Generic online advice is often too simple for serious capital or cross-border trading activity. Strasia helps review the situation privately and identify suitable, compliant structuring options before decisions become difficult to unwind.

Common Risks & Hidden Complexity

01

Unreviewed capital and investment structures

Trading and investment activity can create tax, reporting and banking consequences that depend heavily on residence, asset type, holding structure and documentation. Generic online advice is often too simplistic. Strasia helps review the situation privately and identify suitable, compliant structuring options before decisions are made. Speak with Strasia before restructuring capital, trading activity or investment holdings.

02

Restricted broker access

Many professional brokers and exchanges do not accept retail clients from certain countries. A corporate account structure opens access to all major platforms.

03

Regulation and platform security

Those who trade on unregulated platforms risk their capital. We work exclusively with regulated brokers and platforms in Hong Kong, Singapore and other recognized financial centers.

04

No separation of operating and investment assets

Mixing operations and investments in one company risks investment assets if operational problems arise. The right structure separates both cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — we work exclusively with regulated platforms in Hong Kong, Singapore and other recognized financial centers. Regulatory requirements are strict, meaning maximum security for your capital.
Can I combine multiple asset classes in one company?
Yes — a Hong Kong or Singapore company can hold stocks, digital assets, precious metals, real estate and other assets simultaneously.
From what wealth level do I get access to private banks?
Private banks in Singapore typically accept from $250,000–500,000. In Switzerland and Liechtenstein the threshold is often $1M or more. We advise you individually.

Can I also hold real estate through the company?
Yes — a Hong Kong or Singapore company can hold real estate in different countries. Tax implications depend on the property location, but the holding structure offers additional protection and flexibility.
