Global Invest

 

A simplified way to invest abroad.

Broaden your investment opportunities. 

In 2018, the Central Bank reduced the premium for the purchase of Investment Dollars from 12.5% to 5%. As a result, Bahamians are now able to externalize their investments for a 5% premium and 1 ½% stamp duty, or 1.3% per annum, assuming a five-year investment horizon.

For persons interested in further diversifying their investment portfolios, improving returns on their assets and holding foreign currency assets, Global Invest offers:

  • A free, seamless and efficient approach to Central Bank approval and purchase of Investment Dollars
