International Investors Investing in the U.S. Market
1Can international investors invest in the U.S. markets?
Yes! You do not need to live in the U.S. to invest in the world's largest, strongest, and most stable economy.
2Why should I invest in the U.S?
The U.S. stock market consistently outperforms global markets, offering strong returns, high liquidity, transparency, and security. U.S. dollars also serve as a hedge against local currency depreciation.
3How can Crescent Investment Solutions help international investors?
We help non-U.S. investors by opening U.S. investment accounts, managing portfolios for long-term growth. While we do not offer tax guidance, we can connect you with a qualified CPA to navigate U.S. tax implications.
Stocks vs. Real Estate: Where Should You Invest?
1Is real estate a better investment?
Real estate offers passive income and tax benefits but requires high upfront costs and is illiquid—hard to sell quickly. Stocks are easier to buy and sell and have historically outperformed real estate in long-term returns.
Can I Trust Crescent Investment Solutions?
1Why should I trust you with my investments?
We are a fiduciary, meaning we are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest.
2How is my money protected?
Your assets are held securely at Charles Schwab, a leading financial institution with SIPC protection.
3What makes you different from other financial advisors?
We operate independently, ensuring conflict-free advice, transparent fees, and low minimums to get started.
4Why invest with an advisor instead of just buying an index fund such as the S&P 500?
An index fund is just one piece of the puzzle. Our advisors help you build a tax-efficient, diversified strategy tailored to your goals, manage risk, and keep emotions from derailing your success. Smart investing goes beyond buying a fund; it’s about maximizing wealth, minimizing mistakes, and planning for your future.
Investment & Performance
1How do you manage investments?
We use a data-driven, risk-adjusted approach tailored to your financial goals, market conditions, and risk tolerance.
2How can I track my investments?

For Young Investors: Starting Your Investment Journey
1What are common mistakes young investors make?
Timing the market—no one can perfectly predict market movements, so the best strategy is to stay consistent and invest regularly.
Being too impatient—it is difficult to wait, but everything good takes time. The biggest returns come from staying invested and letting your money take advantage of the power of compounding.
For Immigrant & International Investors: Building Wealth in the U.S. Market
1Questions to ask yourself “Do I want to be working at an old age”?
We emigrate seeking better lives and stability yet often prioritize spending on homes and weddings over investing in our future. Without proper planning, we may end up financially dependent on our children or forced to work in old age.
