Hi All,
I have been looking to move to Singapore for some time to continue my career as a financial adviser. The problems that i have encountered seem to be that local firms will expect you to aggressively prospect other expats to sell them a limited range of high comission products. Quite frankly i've been there and got that t-shirt working in the city in the uk a few years back. As a result what i am now looking to do is to visit singapore several times a year to advise UK expats on their existing uk investments and pensions etc that offshore advises cannot do sufficiently. What this would mean is that i would still be governed by UK compliance regulations whilst being able to advise on UK and offshore business. What i would like to know is if other advisers are still doing this, or if not, what the level of interest would be from UK expats living in singapore. Obviously making the trip each time would cost a reasonable amount so i would have to be sure that it would be worth my while.
any comments or advice would be greatfully received.
