I think off-shore accounts are tax evasion...

Again, not necessarily, Shep.

If you are a real wealthy person, I mean at least a couple of millions, it is indeed good asset protection policy to distribute your holdings onto several banks - in various good currencies in various safe countries. Interest on your asset at that time comes second to protecting your assets.
Here Switzerland indeed holds a lead position.

Recently, even for the smaller investor, currency fluctuations, which eventually are a function of the production of fiat money, has come up as yet another concern with consequences even for more moderate fortunes of say a million or so.

T-bills isn't gold, Shep.
And too bad, no T-bills come denominated in say Swiss francs...

Sorry to say so, but those are facts.
