Helping you achieve your financial goals

We all have financial dreams. Yours may be a new home, a car, a wedding, the means to offer your child a first-rate education, or the confidence to retire in comfort. However, as an expat, we understand it’s not always easy knowing how best to save, invest, and structure your wealth to help it grow.  

Common barriers include uncertainty on where best to invest, given you may move country. Lack of clarity about your tax obligations or concerns around having to commit to making regular contributions. You may also worry about being able to access your funds in a crisis.  

We can help

How we can help

We specialise in delivering tailored investment solutions that focus on long-term sustainable wealth growth for expats like you.  

We can find the right investment solution to help you achieve your financial goals.

Our solutions are:

Portable and Accesible

We can establish wealth management solutions that allow assets to remain in one place in one secure jurisdiction, so even if you move, your money does not have to. We can also ensure your funds are accessible regardless of where you’re based.

Tax Efficient and Compliant

We work alongside specialist tax advisers to help ensure your investments are structured in a way that is mindful of your domestic tax obligations.

Flexible

We know circumstances change, so we build ‘rainy-day’ contingencies into our strategies, allowing you to decrease or pause contributions.

Mindfully Considered and Transparent

We ensure portfolios are adequately diversified and structured within the most secure jurisdictions. And recognising that every strategy comes with inherent risks, we seek to make risks clear, to help you make informed decisions.

Structured for the Future

For expats, cross-border asset ownership can create complications around inheritance and wealth transfer. We help clients think beyond growth, considering how their investments are structured in the context of their wider estate.

What our clients say

"Experienced working with U.S. Expats"

I met Adam Kinsey at a Curry Club dinner and realized he and Melbourne Capital could help me with a problem. I moved to Penang from the U.S. in April 2025 and thought I had all my financial accounts in order. Only after moving did I realize that the U.S. has stringent reporting rules for expats, something that has led financial institutions to simply stop servicing expats. After discovering I had relocated, one of my U.S. banks sent a notification that they would be closing my accounts, and the investment management group at Fidelity told me I could invest on my own, but they could no longer manage my account. Also, the reality of trying to do business with the time zone difference hit home. I laid out my situation with Adam, and he and the Melbourne Capital team were able to develop new solutions for me that met all the requirements and allow me to have a local single point of contact. My experience so far has been excellent.

"Trusting, balanced and guided advice"

I’ve had a great experience working with Melbourne Capital Group, particularly with Ryan Long. Ryan has been excellent to work with - his guidance is patient, informative, and always paced around my own understanding and circumstances. What stands out most is his holistic approach to financial wellbeing. Rather than focusing on quick wins or pushing products, Ryan genuinely takes the time to support me across all areas of my financial situation. His advice feels thoughtful, balanced, and clearly centered on helping me make the best long-term decisions. I would highly recommend Ryan and the team at Melbourne Capital Group to anyone looking for trustworthy, well-considered financial guidance.

"This newbie is very happy with his wealth management"

I found navigating wealth management as an expat living in Malaysia very "taxing". That is, until I connected with the Melbourne Capital Group, above all Adam Humphries. The local team very expertly steered me through a tricky transfer to another UK pension scheme with a recalcitrant trustee. I am very pleased with how that process went as well as the investment choices that I was either provided with or discussed with the wealth manager.

"Smooth process and clearly reasoned investment strategy"

Had several sessions with Adil Rafiq to plan an investment strategy and other matters such as life insurance. Everything went very smoothly and the reasoning was clearly explained. Would recommend.
