Holding UK Unit Trusts Offshore?

#667027

Postby Oswulf » June 2nd, 2024, 4:05 am

I limit my holding of unit trusts to under the inheritance tax threshold. (The large bulk of my investments is in UK investment trusts which I hold through an offshore brokerage.) However, the value of the unit trusts is now over £325,000. Is there any way to hold UK unit trusts in an offshore brokerage account?

I'm aware that some overseas brokers offer mutual funds, but the choice is limited - particularly if one wants GBP classes - and the charges are higher than for UK equivalents. They are also somewhat harder to research.

I believe I'm no longer domiciled in the UK, hence the IHT situation.

Thanks.
