When you look at the things that the wealthiest people on Earth are concerned about, it tells you something very important about the direction the world is already undoubtedly headed.  

According to the latest data from a study conducted by UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland), the top concerns among billionaires this year are:

• Trade tensions

• Geopolitical conflict

• Policy uncertainty

…followed by inflation, debt instability, regulatory unpredictability and climate change. 

Those are the same forces that keep my clients up at night. 

When the people with the most to lose start focusing on these issues, you ignore them at your own peril.

Billionaires aren’t worried about the things the “media machine” tells them to focus on; they are focused on the areas that will impact their way of life in a material way, and could even be detrimental to not just their portfolio… but their physical safety, too.

They’re worried about structural risk and the social fallout that follows when the seams holding “polite society” together finally burst.

…I’m am talking about the kind of life-altering risks that change how borders function, how capital moves, and how people live. 

Like the 87 billionaires surveyed in the UBS study, people like us are smart enough to know that: 

Trade wars disrupt supply chains and capital allocation.

Geopolitical conflict rewrites alliances, currencies, and movement permissions.

Policy volatility means governments can change the rules overnight.

Inflation and debt pressure erode the real value of wealth held inside any single system.

…which is exactly why we prepare ourselves and our families with practical and fully legal strategies to safeguard ourselves from the first, second and third-order effects that come alongside a complete restructuring of the “global order”.  

Billionaires aren’t known to fear-monger, so I suggest you take this as a practical risk assessment from the people with the most to lose.

I can assure you that the majority of billionaires have a Plan-B in place (even if they have never referred to it as such).

They have jurisdictional optionality.

They’ve diversified their legal residence.

They’ve protected their wealth across borders.

They’ve structured assets in places that offer legal predictability and freedom.

They’ve adjusted for currency risk.

They’ve prepared for the global reality that isn’t looking too pretty.

It’s not just billionaires and multi-millionaires who are doing this either - hundreds of serious families and investors from the Expat Money community have already done the same.

…and you can, too.

Families and investors just like you come to Expat Money because they want to preserve freedom, mobility, and generational optionality in a world where the future is less unknown and frankly, scarier than ever.

You don’t have to be a multi-millionaire to afford yourself and your loved ones the same Plan-B strategies that the world’s most informed and successful people already have in place.

The people who thrive through uncertainty aren’t just the wealthy ones with “friends in high places”…

They’re simply the most prepared.

If you want to be in that group and create your own jurisdictional leverage and peace of mind while options still exist, I have a program starting in less than a month that will deliver just that.  

You can fill out an application form here, and if you’re accepted into the program, you will be as protected as the most powerful people in the world within 12 months' time. 

Speak soon,

Mikkel

PS. The 6th cohort of First Class starts soon, and I'm hoping to familiarize myself with everyone's situation and goals before I head out on our Paraguay tour, followed by some business travel. I leave at the end of this week, so please do get your applications in by this weekend at the latest. This will be the last cohort at the current price (it will increase by $2,000 after this). I highly encourage you to submit your application and schedule a call with Melissa, my Head of Client Intake, right away.
