Wealth, has launched an offshore investment bond for expat UK
citizens living in Spain. The bond is called the European Capital
Account.
Customers who plan to invest for at least five years can use a
charge-free withdrawal allowance of 10 per cent each year,
without triggering an early surrender charge in the ECA, the firm
said in a statement. Once an initial lump sum of £10,000 is made,
investors can make regular and ad hoc payments as they wish.
The ECA gives investors access to more than 150 Spanish-compliant
international investment funds.
There are, according to latest available data, around 760,000
people living in Spain of UK origin; some reports state that this
figure might have declined since Spain’s economic problems within
the eurozone.
