« Alexis, I'm relocating to Singapore for my career. The tax regime there is attractive, but how do I manage my assets in France while capturing the opportunities in Asia, without exposing myself to the French tax authorities? »
Singapore is not merely a prestigious stopover in an international career; it is one of the most powerful and stable financial hubs in the world. For a French expatriate, this city-state offers a particularly favourable environment for tax optimisation, yet it also demands absolute rigour in structuring one's cross-border assets.
At Balmont Conseil, we do not view your expatriation as a mere interlude, but as a wealth accelerator. As a Wealth Engineer equipped with Augmented Wealth AI (Alta), my mission is to build the bridge between your situation in France and your new opportunities in Singapore, securing every step of your international mobility.
Why Singapore is the sanctuary for your wealth
Singapore stands out for its stable economy and a pro-business environment unique in South-East Asia. For an expatriate, the advantages are structural.
The Expatriate Wealth Audit: the essential starting point
One does not manage one's wealth in Singapore the way one does in Paris. Before any decision, Balmont Conseil carries out a complete expatriate wealth audit.
Understanding your tax residence
The tax-residence criterion is the pivot of your strategy. We analyse the impact of the tax treaty between France and Singapore in order to avoid any double taxation and to optimise the use of any expatriate tax credits.
Tailor-made investment strategies
From Singapore, your horizons broaden. We support you with:
- Investment diversification: Access to investment opportunities in Asia (Private Equity, Real Estate).
- Property: Reallocation of your assets in France and property investment in Singapore or across the region (Australia, Thailand).
- Alternative investments: Advice on cryptocurrencies and taxation, a highly dynamic sector within the city-state.
Wealth management services for French-speaking expatriates
Balmont Conseil offers a holistic approach, coordinating your local and international interests.
Why choose Balmont Conseil in Singapore?
Choosing a wealth advisory firm for your expatriation calls for trust and a dual tax culture.
- Cross-Border Expertise: We have a firm command of the specifics of French law and the rules of the MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore).
- Personalised Support: You are not a number in a private bank. You benefit from a dedicated wealth adviser who understands the realities of expatriate life (school fees, housing, return to France).
- Innovative Solutions: Through our Augmented Wealth Engineer approach, we use AI to simulate the impact of tax reforms (such as a possible tax reform in Singapore) on your long-term trajectory.
