Zurich, Switzerland – Maus Coex Capital, a global financial advisory firm with offices across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, has introduced enhanced fund transfer strategies tailored to clients in the People’s Republic of China.
Amid growing regulatory scrutiny, capital flight concerns, and political pressures inside the Chinese economy, Maus Coex Capital provides legal, compliant, and discreet pathways to transfer assets abroad.
The move comes as China’s capital controls tighten and more wealthy individuals and businesses seek asset diversification outside the mainland.
Maus Coex’s offerings from trade-based remittance structures and private placement vehicles to trust-based arrangements in tax-neutral jurisdictions are gaining traction with Chinese nationals aiming to hedge against renminbi volatility, regulatory unpredictability, and potential government expropriation.
China’s Capital Controls and the Growing Demand for Offshore Diversification
Over the past five years, Beijing has clamped down on outbound capital flows to preserve foreign currency reserves and stabilize domestic markets. Chinese citizens face an annual cap of $50,000 on foreign currency conversion.
Corporations and high-net-worth individuals are encountering greater hurdles when investing or moving assets abroad, even for legitimate purposes such as education, medical care, or foreign real estate investment.
The result: a growing demand for lawful, innovative financial strategies to transfer wealth across borders without violating China’s foreign exchange regulations.
“Clients are seeking secure pathways that maintain full legal compliance with Chinese laws while enabling global diversification,” said Giovanni D’Amato, Managing Director at Maus Coex Capital’s Zurich office. “We’re not in the business of secrecy—we’re in the business of strategic compliance.”
Maus Coex’s Tiered Solutions: From Trusts to Trade-Based Transfers
Maus Coex Capital’s bespoke solutions for Chinese nationals and corporate entities include:
- Structured Trade Invoicing and Export Rebates: By leveraging legitimate overseas trade transactions, clients can invoice counterparties in foreign currencies and benefit from foreign exchange repatriation mechanisms in line with Chinese customs and trade rules.
- Family Office Trust Structures: These allow affluent families to establish discretionary trusts in regions like the Cayman Islands, Jersey, and Singapore to hold offshore assets while retaining indirect control through well-documented legal agreements.
- Dual-Entity Setups: Maus Coex establishes foreign subsidiaries or shell holding companies in neutral jurisdictions such as the BVI, Hong Kong (for now), or Luxembourg to manage international investments, real estate, and brokerage accounts.
- Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI): A growing strategy among ultra-high-net-worth individuals, PPLI wraps international investments into an insurance structure, offering tax advantages and transfer flexibility.
- Foreign Educational Fund Transfers: For families with children studying abroad, Maus Coex helps document tuition and living expenses in compliance with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), enabling smooth international wire transfers.
Case Study: Moving Wealth Across Borders Safely and Legally
A real estate developer from Guangzhou faced significant risk exposure as the property sector contracted sharply in late 2024. His overseas portfolio in Australia, the UK, and Canada required capital infusion, but capital controls restricted outward flows.
Maus Coex stepped in, structuring a multi-jurisdictional trust based in Singapore with investment feeder funds.
Over 12 months, Maus Coex helped legally transfer $12 million in working capital through documented export contracts, legal intercompany loans, and trustee-managed investments. The funds were used to refinance existing mortgages and acquire additional properties in Toronto and London.
“Without Maus Coex’s experience, I could have lost critical investments abroad,” said the developer, who requested anonymity due to political sensitivity. “They showed me how to do this by the book, with discretion and results.”
Legal Compliance and Transparency Are Core Values
Maus Coex Capital strictly adheres to all international financial compliance standards, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) protocols. In-house legal experts and local counsel review strategies in China and the destination country.
“We never recommend shortcuts,” emphasized D’Amato. “There’s a world of difference between secrecy and discretion. Our goal is transparency that protects the client while respecting global regulations.”
Market Outlook: Why This Matters in 2025
As of Q1 2025, the Chinese yuan continues to weaken against the U.S. dollar, hitting a 17-year low. Real estate remains frozen in many parts of China, and political crackdowns on tech entrepreneurs and dissenters are accelerating capital flight. In parallel, Western governments are increasing scrutiny of suspicious wire transfers, putting even more pressure on legitimate investors to do things right.
“This is not about escaping scrutiny,” added Julia Cheung, Maus Coex Director of Asia Strategy. “It’s about protecting the fruits of your labour in a world where geopolitics increasingly determines financial risk.”
