Yes, I understand that very well, but I'm taking into account considerations beyond just that. This is piling on to my increasing sense that getting as much separation between me and the US economy as possible is the wise move.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoRe-allocating away from US economic exposure is somewhat straightforward. VXUS vs VTI/ITOT, international bond funds (BNDX) vs US bond funds (BND), etc. In my opinion, the harder part is the actual infra you need for value and securities ownership: your brokerage and your bank. As a US citizen, it is a challenge to find a financial services firm outside the US who is going to be willing to custodian and manage securities and other investment assets for you without you being a bona fide resident of their jurisdiction (if you're wealthy enough, this is of course not an issue). Am I at the point where I would consider moving my assets to an entity outside of US control and perhaps acquire hard assets outside the US (real estate, physical gold, etc)? Not yet, but we are getting there slowly, and it is better to have a plan and not need it than to need a plan and not have it.
