ecializes in expatriate financial issues and global investment strategies. Our US clients benefit from a global investment approach and a network of professionals to help with any financial planning need. As an IAM client, you can always count on dealing directly with a financial advisor who holds the highest professional credentials in their field and who has the experience to take a proactive approach to offering guidance specifically tailored to your situation. As a non-US citizen living in the United States you face financial considerations that may be quite different from those in your home country. Pension plans, taxation of income and investments, estate tax, and retirement and education savings accounts work differently in the United States than in other countries. Furthermore, for individuals and families with assets in both the United States and other countries, it is necessary to consider the cross-border implications of managing these assets. Cross-border tax, estate planning, and portfolio management are highly specialized fields – at IAM we have in-house expertise and a global network of cross-border professionals who help our clients address such financial planning concerns.

The first priorities for most Americans when moving overseas are typically housing, visas, and banking, with financial considerations often lower down the list, to begin with at least.

However, at some point, most expats want to make adjustments to their portfolio to better reflect their new situation and evolving plans. This can be more complicated though, due to local rules that can affect the ability to invest in the USA, or US rules that affect the feasibility of investing overseas, as well as new currency and cross-border diversification considerations.

So once you’re living abroad, a decision that used to be easy now has to take into account myriad new factors, and that’s where some guidance is helpful.

In this article, we outline the main investment considerations and options for Americans living abroad.

Retirement planning is different if you’re living outside the US. You’re typically dealing with more than one system at the same time, and you may have US retirement accounts, Social Security (in both the US and abroad), and sometimes a local pension as well. The rules don’t always line up, and the timing, tax treatment, and access can all vary depending on where you live.

In this video, Tom Zachystal CPF, CFA, President of IAM Advisors, walks through how retirement planning works in practice for Americans abroad. Tom looks at how US and foreign pensions interact, when you can access different accounts, and how Social Security works if you’re living overseas. Tom also covers what ongoing tax reporting looks like in retirement, and where double taxation can come into play.

Tom talks about the practical considerations as well: what it actually costs to retire abroad, how healthcare and long-term care factor in, cross-border estate planning, and how to think about currency when your income and expenses may not be in the same denomination.
