The Global Connector

Since 2010, Matthew Sumner has built Outbound Investment into a global business development, media, and events platform serving the cross-border investment, investment migration, corporate services, fiduciary, banking, funds, and international wealth sectors. Outbound Investment supports government investment promotion agencies, immigration consultants, corporate service providers, trust companies, law firms, real estate developers, immigration consultants, and banks with business development, advertising, marketing, events, and market access.

As Founder and Managing Director of Outbound Investment, Matthew has spent more than 15 years building connections across the global investment and wealth industries. His work has taken him across 60+ countries, where he has helped more than 30,000 advisors and clients navigate international investing, global mobility, tax optimization, and asset protection strategies.

Matthew has hosted, opened, and moderated international summits across major global markets including the USA, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and other international hubs. Public agendas list him leading opening remarks, fireside chats, and panel discussions on topics such as family offices, investment migration, due diligence, offshore structures, and global wealth planning.

Through his work and public podcast content, Matthew has developed a four-pillar approach to global wealth strategy centred around migration, personal tax, corporate structuring and asset protection. This framework helps entrepreneurs, investors, families, and advisors think beyond one country and structure wealth, residency, and opportunity internationally.

Matthew and his team have also helped international providers access high-value markets through events, online, print, and remote lead generation services, including supporting residency and citizenship providers entering the Chinese market. His work has created high-level networking environments through private receptions, summits, and industry events that bring together leaders from finance, investment migration, family offices, legal services, and global wealth planning.

… and more. Today, Matthew Sumner and the Outbound Investment team help global providers, advisors, entrepreneurs, investors, and wealth professionals access new markets, build strategic relationships, and create more resilient international wealth and mobility opportunities.
