Setting Up Shop in Mexico

Setting up a hedge fund and asking for international securities law advice from a bunch of anon strangers on ET? I smell BS.


My instinctive reaction, also - but I suppose not necessarily: a few years of glancing through trading forums has taught me that whatever you find, there really are some people who are that naive.
 
Here i thought it was Spain. People from Europe move there to for lower cost of living. Fairly safe and warm. ( I think they even have sewers and clean water )
If you want to live cheap its cool, all along the states on the southern border is warm. You can find plenty of cheap ways to live. A nice double wide trailer comes to mind.
Saving money for the loss of security is not a safe gamble.
 
Well in OP's defense he wasn't talking about moving to Mexico to live, just to set up a business.
I'm curious what OP's motivations are to start a venture like a hedge fund in Mexico particularly.
 
I'd wait out the presidential elections at least. The left will more than likely take it and I expect a lot of gringo hate due to Trump.
 
I would avoid domicile in non native country. There are certain nuisances that locals have regarding business affairs that you may lack. You would be prime target for exploitation. Think of how hard it is in the USA and multiply it by 50. Living somewhere non native is different than doing business non native.

Was thinking of buying beachfront property in Xcalak, it looked gorgeous. But the idea of being US citizen in Mexico is scary in itself. Especially a rich US citizen even worse. Look at the trouble the Virus Software developer got into in Latin America.

It's very easy to get anyone into a situation where leverage is used against them because they consider that person wealthy enough to pay off for the effort.

Usually most rich locals don't get messed with because of secondary judicial system in place like the mafia or cartels.View attachment 171315

It's pretty widely recognized that John McAfee at the very least has some serious mental health issues. His case is in no way representative of the experience of the thousands of expats who happily and safely live in Latin America. Including Mexico which, by the way, is a big country that isn't all like Juarez any more than the U.S. is all like south central LA.
