Gain exposure to international markets
RF Bank & Trust has partnered with world-leading investment managers to give you access to strategies across global equities, fixed income, and multi-asset portfolios. Your advisor will help you identify which options align with your goals, timeline, and risk tolerance.
Seamless central bank approval
Investing internationally from The Bahamas doesn’t have to be complicated. We handle the entire Exchange Control process on your behalf, from securing Central Bank approval for Investment Currency Market (ICM) investments to managing fund transfers, so you can focus on what matters.
Diversify beyond borders
A portfolio built only on local investments carries concentration risk. By spreading across regions, sectors, and asset types, you reduce that risk and open the door to growth stories that the domestic market alone can’t offer, helping you build resilience and long-term returns.
Direct currency access
As an authorized foreign exchange dealer, RF Bank & Trust can source and provide the foreign currency your international investments require eliminating the delays and costs associated with routing through third-party banks.
Easily access international markets
Clients are increasingly looking beyond the domestic market to diversify their portfolios and access global growth. Whether you’re exploring international options for the first time or looking to deepen an existing allocation, your RF advisor is ready to help you understand what’s available, what fits, and what’s next.
Managed Accounts
Gain access to discretionary international portfolio management through RF’s globally respected investment partners. Managed accounts provide exposure to international equities, bonds, and multi-asset strategies professionally managed and tailored to your investment objectives.
International Bonds
Diversify your fixed income allocation with access to international corporate bonds. These instruments offer regular income potential and help balance your portfolio with exposure to credit markets well beyond our local market.
ETF Strategies ★ Coming Soon
We’re developing a suite of RF-curated ETF strategies: model portfolios built around exchange-traded funds that offer broad market exposure across global equities, fixed income, and sectors. Combining low-cost access to international markets with strategic allocation, these strategies will be available through your RF advisor soon.
