Investors devote a lot of efforts trying to save investment costs. But have you considered the impact of taxation?
By using the right investment tools to invest in your target markets, you can save up to 30%* of investment returns, a research by HKEX and EY revealed.
The research – tailored for the Hong Kong, Japan, Mainland China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand markets – compares the tax impact of investing in different asset classes, including Asian, Europe, UK and US equities, indices and bonds, through Hong Kong ETFs, Irish UCITs, Luxembourg SICAV/SICF and US RICs.
In particular, Hong Kong ETFs are one of the most tax-efficient channels to invest in Asia equities and indices.
Take a look at the research reports, and find out the best ways to save tax costs.
*For example, Hong Kong investors who look to gain exposure to China equities can retain 90% of after-tax return by investing through Hong Kong-domiciled funds; in contrast, those who invest through US mutual funds can only retain 63% of their investment returns.
