Switz. would not be on my list. Their vaunted 'banking secrecy' is no more. For privacy, I should look at the '2-bit' Cook Islands. For lawsuit protection, the island of Nevis or the Republic of Panama. For banking integrity, Austria (very expensive), or many of the assorted isles in the Commonwealth. New Zealand is in there someplace, but is not suitable for older folks (they don't want you).

Singapore is an excellent choice, as is Hong Kong...but always be wary of the Chicoms and be ready to split at a moment's notice.

The problem with generalised answers is that each person's situation going in is different. You might look up more info at the Sovereign Society.

Best wishes and FReegards!

Nice rundown, I appreciate it. Also noted Austria made the list (surprised) but Luxembourg & Liechtenstein didn’t (more surprised). I don’t know much about the subject though and at this point I’m sold on holding physical gold (no larger than .25 ounce coins) or junk silver. The idea is hiding assets from means testing and also avoiding estate taxes.
