I think it depends on the taxes. If you are a U.S. Citizen you will pay U.S. taxes. If you are not a U.S. Citizen it appears it depends on the tax treaties between the country and the U.S. To get an idea of this go to this link for ETrade and choose a Country you will be trading from. Also look at the tax form links on the right and instructions. The Cayman Islands aren't a country on the list. Just for fun I selected Bulgaria and then looked at the paperwork. It's an interesting read that may help you figure out how to do it. It's a bit over my head without a lot more study.

"Can foreign-based investors invest in U.S. financial instruments,"

Of course!

The US is the largest destination for investment capital in the world. (Has been for a century or so....)

"and, if so, are their capital gains taxed by the United States government when the money leaves the county and flows back offshore"

Depends on the tax treaty (if any) between the US and the other country.
