International Pensions
Imperium Capital provides advice on the creation and maintenance of international pension plans for companies and individuals who are resident and working outside their home country. These generally include QROPS and IS&P funds, which are outlined below.
International pension structures provide a bespoke solution to house assets within a single jurisdiction irrespective of the mobility required of the company or individual. They ensure:
- Asset protection
- Succession availability
- Effective investment strategies and flexibility
- Access flexibility
- Tax efficient accumulation and retirement strategies relevant to a member's host country and ultimate country of repatriation
Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS)
- QROPS creates a transfer opportunity for UK expatriates who are likely to remain offshore for the rest of their lives.
- QROPS creates a transfer opportunity for UK non-domiciles who accumulated a domestic pension whilst employed in the UK.
There are significant financial benefits for effective QROPS planning, which generally ensure improved investment growth, greater control of investments and the shape and timing of retirement benefits, and future financial security of the transferred pension (e.g. passing over tax-free lump sum benefits in the event of death).
Imperium Capital has access to multiple QROPS solutions that include jurisdictions such as Guernsey, the Isle of Man, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
IS&P Funds
The International Superannuation and Pension (IS&P) fund is a simple, flexible and effective employer-sponsored retirement plan for globally mobile individuals. It is particularly applicable for UK and Australian expatriates with world-wide assets to consolidate into a single structure prior to entering a host country.
Assets accumulated eliminate the burden of host country regulations, planning restrictions and taxation.
This scheme provides creditor asset protection and excellent estate planning opportunities.
It is suitable for citizens of a particular country planning to return to their home country after a period of time overseas.
Members may be currently employed by a company or self-employed.
These schemes are designed to provide for retirement, which may mean that benefits are available at:
- Reaching retirement age
- Retiring from gainful employment
- Ceasing employment with the sponsoring employer
- Death or permanent disability
Imperium Capital offer solutions and have been advising on employer sponsored retirement planning since 1992. The IS&P plan is particularly applicable to the UK or Australian expatriate.

At Imperium Capital we believe in supporting activities
that will make a positive contribution to the future.
Our view is the best way this can be achieved is
through education, particularly education to those who
needs are greatest.
We are committed to developing our ongoing support
for the less fortunate children in the host capitals
where we have representation. Typically we support orphanages and sponsor many events throughout the calender year. We are particularly supportive of the development of sports and outdoor activities for children.
We are all being made aware more and more these days how important play and sport are for children, especially when it takes place outside in nature, not only does this help develop physical health but it also provides the opportunity to develop social skills and positive mental activity, all beneficial to children's development.
