  Offshore investment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Offshore investment is the keeping of money in a jurisdiction other than one's country of residence.
Investors may choose offshore investment to conceal or protect illegally acquired money from law enforcement in the investor's country; or take advantage of higher rates of return or lower rates of tax on that return than offered by the investor's country.
The first answer is because it is less regulated, and the behavior of the offshore investment provider, whether he be a banker, fund manager, trustee or stock-broker, is freer than it could be in a more regulated environment.
