Retirees face unique risks when investing across borders. Different legal systems, unfamiliar protections, and complex jurisdictional conflict can turn small problems into catastrophic losses. U.S. retirees should reduce variables and keep income systems close to home.
Switzerland is marketed as a safe haven, but for American investors, especially retirees, it can be a legal minefield. Secrecy norms, jurisdictional evasion, and fragmented oversight make recovering losses or even accessing basic account records dangerously difficult.
Offshore routing and data refusal don’t shield financial platforms, they signal risk. Regulators treat evasion, contradictory statements, and shell detours as evidence of obstruction and potential misconduct, increasing rather than reducing liability.
