Foreign annuities can give you rock-solid, offshore protection not available domestically. An annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company, in which you make a lump-sum payment or series of payments. In return, the insurer agrees to make periodic payments to you beginning immediately or at some future date. Annuities typically offer tax-deferred growth on earnings and may include a death benefit that will pay your beneficiary a guaranteed minimum amount.

Foreign annuities are usually exempt from creditor seizure. The other important financial advantage over an U.S. annuity is they are all tax deferred. Many asset managers advise that you buy your foreign annuity through an offshore trust or foreign LLC further insulating you. Placing your annuity under the umbrella of your IRA can give you additional tax deferability and protection as well.
