How to Own Your Own Private International Bank: For Profit, Privacy, and Tax Protection

Very insightful, full of practical knowledge. Will defiantly help in the formation of my Private Bank.

I found this book to be a fast-reading, informative overview to owning an offshore international bank. Its 12 chapters cover topics ranging from how these banks work, privacy issues, risks and tax-benefits, to asset protection, case histories and how and where to begin. I'm interested in finance, but do not currently have my own offshore bank. There's plenty of useful information in this volume, but reading it is just the beginning. Anyone venturing into this area of banking should certainly personally obtain the assistance of an "expert" in the field. If you're considering such a venture, reading this book is an appropriate start.

Jerome has improved his writing style from his previous books on related topics. It is very much oriented towards bringing customers into his office for offshore services. However, the wealth of information, and its clarity, justify reading the book, and more than once. This author is certainly one of the best in the field, and his future books will be worth the wait.Not everyone reading this book will become international bankers, but the inside look at offshore banking was a pleasure to read. Personally, it was intereting to read that not all international bankers are experts in global mutual funds, but their ability to be linked with professionally managed funds should put the "ah!" in anyone considering maximizing their returns.Anyone seriously following Jerome's advise will most likely be learning more about South Pacific islands, i.e., Vanuatu, etc. And Vancouver, B.C., where Jerome is located. The low initial cost of owning an internation! al bank should appeal to anyone with a net worth of around a quarter of a million dollars. If one has less than $100,000 one would be best advised to come back to this topic later, when their personal wealth building is further advanced.
