Investing or moving money overseas

Investing offshore can be scary – what jurisdiction do you invest in? Do you just open a foreign bank account or do you invest and make your money work for you? How do you get your money offshore? What are the limits available to you and your family?

Gapex has partnered up with professional trustworthy client-centric wealth managers who we can introduce so that you have the best possible advice to invest offshore.

Gapex will then assist in moving your funds offshore to ensure that your investment receives the most possible funds to grow as quickly as possible for you. We’ll advise on limits per calendar year allowed and assist with Tax clearances:

SDA (Single Discretionary Allowance) = R1 million per calendar year per adult South African

Gapex will assist you with the correct accounts to move your money in or out of South Africa without any funds being held up. Ensuring your funds are available to you without contravening any exchange controls or exceeding limits is paramount to ensuring you get the best solution when the hassle of moving is enough of a stress.

Touchtek has been importing computer peripherals through GAPEX for 5 years. Prior to you, all my forex was done through banks, and it was a complete enigma to me to find somebody like you and Grant. Papers collected to and from my door. Calls and emails after hours advising me of exchange rate movement in those moments of volatile panic. Daily emails keeping me up to date with the wheels that turn our economy and control my decisions. The personal involvement and care. You made yourselves a part of my business and I thank you.
