Get In The Room With Our Offshore A-Team
Our Offshore Wealth Summit corrals some of the world’s leading experts in their fields—these guys come from all over the globe, so it’s a feat to gather them all in one room for three whole days. At no other event can you meet and speak with such a varied group of offshore talent that can give such detailed and case-specific advice on whatever your diversification goals are…
So who exactly will be in the room in Panama City this October? Let’s debut the lineup…
Lief Simon is a name you probably know well, but you might not be as familiar with his extensive background—all the experience that makes him one of the undisputed leaders in this diversification beat.
Lief has been taking a diversified global approach—to business, to investing, and to life in general—and showing others how to do the same, for more than 25 years.
He’s lived and worked on 5 continents and traveled to more than 60 countries. His real estate investing experience began more than 20 years ago with a multi-unit building in Chicago. After selling that building for a leveraged total return of more than 1,800% in two-and-a-half years, Lief began to diversify internationally. In the years since, he has personally bought and sold property in 23 countries.
Lief looks for one of two market situations when evaluating a potential investment: an abundance of opportunity created by a market distortion (crisis investing) or a chance to position yourself ahead of new infrastructure or some other local trend (the path of progress).
For example, Lief told his readers to buy in Argentina immediately after the 2001 financial crisis in that country, a time when CNN was showing riots in the streets and warning people to stay away. Lief saw not crisis but opportunity. Forward-thinking readers who followed his lead enjoyed appreciation rates of 100% and more in fewer than three years on buys in Buenos Aires.
Since then, Lief has also turned readers on to investments in Mexico, Romania, Spain, Colombia, and Brazil, to name just a few examples… buys that appreciated 160% in 18 months, 90% in 15 months, 60% in 2 years, 50% in 23 months, and a whopping 700% in 5 years, respectively.
Lief knows where to buy now and how much to spend. He knows the pitfalls and the caveats and how to avoid them all.
At his Offshore Wealth Summit, he’ll walk you through the fundamentals of global diversification and help you fit the pieces together to conceive and even begin to execute your own customized offshore diversification plan.
But he won’t do it alone…
Over the last 25-plus years living and doing business around the world, Lief has built a network of reliable and expert contacts he trusts—attorneys, bankers, tax consultants, and other advisors, both Stateside and in the many jurisdictions where he spends time and money. These are the people who keep him up-to-date on important changes—as they happen. And these are the colleagues he’s invited down to Panama over Oct. 9 to 11, including…
Joel Nagel, one of the world’s leading authorities on asset protection. Joel will introduce you to the most effective asset protection tools and strategies in the current global climate. Then he’ll walk you through how to use them to achieve an ironclad and legal asset protection plan of your own.
At this special event, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly with Joel to select the right structures, strategies, and jurisdictions for you so that you can manage and reduce your tax burden, protect your assets, and leave a legacy for your heirs…

Michael Cobb, long-time Latin America expat and businessman, covers offshore real estate finance, development, and ownership.
At the height of a successful career in the computer industry, Mike left to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, he and his business partner formed a company, Exotic Caye International (ECI), to provide loans to North Americans purchasing properties in Belize, Honduras, Costa Rica, and throughout the region. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass the full realm of financial products.
Mike led the group into real estate development and ECI is now a multi-country developer with projects in Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama and planned communities in Ecuador and Chile as well…
You don’t have to be a millionaire to take up the idea of banking, doing business, or investing offshore. There are different levels to this game. Only you will know what makes sense for your circumstances and what’s within your comfort zone.
Your strategy might be as simple as opening a bank account in another country. (You might not even have to leave the United States to do this.)
Or you can get more complex and diversify into real estate, precious metals, form an offshore corporation, move overseas, even acquire second citizenship, as Lief and so many others have…

Come Oct. 9, this A-Team of the offshore world will be in the room to share with you everything you need to know to protect and grow your wealth—and enjoy more freedom—now and in the future.
If you ever feel like life in the United States is no longer in keeping with your own set of values…
That you’re paying out so much in taxes that you’re barely able to put anything aside for your future…
That you’ll never be able to afford to retire…
Or that you’re not providing for your family in the way that you hoped…
