A global lifestyle can be exciting, adventuresome and rewarding, but it also presents unique financial challenges and complexity. At Creveling & Creveling, we help expatriates cut through the complexity, enabling you to build and preserve your wealth as you pursue your international life.
Creveling & Creveling is a private wealth advisory firm that provides customized expatriate investment and financial planning advice on a fee-only basis to individuals pursuing international lives in Thailand and throughout Southeast Asia.
As long-time expatriates and financial professionals, we understand the financial challenges faced by many expatriates ― the bewildering array of options, a lack of comprehensive guidance, conflicting tax jurisdictions, currency issues, complex local and home country regulations, international marriages, among a myriad of other issues.
We know it can be difficult to find objective advice that blends both the local and global perspective you require and that truly addresses the range of financial planning and investment issues you face as an expat. At Creveling & Creveling, our goal is to serve as your private wealth advisor, helping you make better financial decisions, increase your household wealth, and create a more secure future.
We welcome the opportunity to help you get the most from your international life.
Creveling & Creveling provides a unique, personalized wealth advisory service rarely found in Southeast Asia. Beyond the specific value obtained from on-going financial planning and investment advice, our holistic approach provides you a myriad of benefits.
Our clients lead busy lives. With a focus on family and career, it can be difficult to find the time to research and take action on financial issues. Engaging our services often provides you the context, information, and impetus to take action on the financial issues you may have been putting off.
It’s no secret that spouses don’t always agree on financial issues. A dedicated and structured approach to your finances can, however, help you come to agreement and take coordinated action. This approach also allows a spouse, who may not have been that active in the household financial decisions, to become more involved in a structured manner.
One of the things we consistently hear is how we have helped our clients organize and simplify their financial lives. This removes stress, allows you more easily to stay on top of your finances, and frees up time for life’s more important activities.
Many times, people don’t take action because they feel they lack the information or specific knowledge to make the best choices. Professional, objective advice often provides the confidence to make these decisions.
Volatile markets often cause investors to fall into destructive cycles of buying high and selling low. We provide a consistent, disciplined approach that helps you avoid emotional investment decisions, enabling you to stick with your plan and achieve long-term success.
Clients often find that the greatest value we add is in identifying issues they weren’t aware they faced. Our extensive discovery process enables us to provide solutions to help avoid potential pitfalls before they become serious and expensive issues.

As an expat investor, how much of your portfolio should you allocate to less risky or less volatile investments (such as bonds) versus riskier or more volatile equity investments (such as stocks)? It's a fundamental consideration, but the best allocation is not always obvious. Complicating the decision, market noise tends to focus on the most recent best-performing investments, creating a “fear of missing out” (FOMO)...

One of the biggest financial challenges that expat retirees can face is how to generate a reliable stream of income when they no longer have a regular paycheck coming in. During working years, people tend to focus on saving and reaching a particular dollar target or trying to maximize investment returns.
