It was a pleasure to be guided by our advisor Thomas Schwenke during our first steps with De Vere. He was dedicated, competent and available throughout the whole process. The information he provided and his advice were invaluable. We had the opportunity to meet Thomas and he proved to be a real gentleman, as expected.

Harry Roe advise me on the transfer of my UK private pension funds and I am really happy with my decision to use deVere's services. Harry made the process enjoyable and clear. Thank you, Harry!

we reached out to Josh Dixon regarding our uk Pensions both private and government pensions. from the start he was super friendly and very informative. he didnt bombard us with financial jargon and explained everything in a very simplified manner. So much so that we have transfered a private pension elsewhere. Highly recommened him

Peter and Dani were excellent throughout the process ensuring that I understood and was happy with every step. No question was left unanswered or not throughly explained. I would happily recommend them both and look forward to working with them both.

Many thanks Stuart and Dawn for your professional service in assisting me with the transfer of my UK pension to Australia! The red tape from the UK side was significantly more onerous than I expected, and I would not have been able to navigate that without you. I highly recommend your services to others looking at transferring a UK pension to Australia.

I have been a deVere client for several years in multiple countries, and I have consistently appreciated the firm’s professionalism and expertise. They have managed my portfolio with efficiency and care, delivering steady and reliable growth over time.

I was a client of deVere for several years across multiple products. I found the fee structures to be opaque and poorly explained. When I asked directly whether deVere received commissions on certain products, I was told no—something later contradicted by my policy documents. My experience was that the focus was on closing sales rather than providing independent financial advice. I would encourage anyone considering deVere to ask very specific questions about all fees and commissions before signing anything.

Andrew Daglish is not only a very competent financial professional. His warmth and attention to personal details makes each and every interaction with him a pleasure.

I have been working with Oksana Trowels for over 15 years. I find her very efficient and explains financial matters using language I can understand. In addition she is a charming and friendly person.

Spoke with James Murray. Comes across as very genuine and was very helpful in offering valuable advice on the pensions minefield for expats that have both UK state pension and Spanish entitlement. Even though there was no product that the company could offer, the advice could end up saving me thousands in the long term. I will be happy to consult with James in the future if my circumstances change and happy to recommend him to any contacts that may be looking for financial advice

Seren cenok, excellent advice given by her today. Very helpful and informative after carefully listening to what I had to ask.

Such phenomenal service.
I had Matthew assist me in dealing with aspects of my UK pension and what requirements needed to transfer to an Australian fund. He was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. Unlike other institutions DeVere Australia obviously have a high standard and Matthew was beyond respectful towards me and spoke to me in a way I could understand (I am completely clueless when it comes to pensions/investments). Thanks to his great communication and advice I feel confident in moving forward.

Jason Trowles of DeVere is a professional financial advisor who manages his accounts efficiently and is always helpful when you need advice on investments

I have been using DeVere advice for about a year now and am quite satisfied with the level of the advice and in particular with the level of care that the DeVere consultants (Chris O'Sullivan and Olga Petrova) are putting in the management of my investments.
I feel that they are actively working and planning strategies to make my investments grow despite the very unpredictable global outlook.

When I was an expat in Dubai in 2016, I was approached by a financial adviser from Acuma DeVere who offered me to open a US approved international pension plan. I was told this program was approved by the IRS and I can contribute after tax and start withdrawing funds from the pension plan after 10 years free of tax. When I tried to withdraw funds last month after 10 years anniversary, I was told that funds aren't available and I will need to wait another 15 years. This seems like a Pyramid scheme where they are defrauding investors through a complex web of companies including Praxis in Malta and Utmost in Guernsey. I'm posting this to let other people know about this so they don't fall into the same kind of deception scheme with these organizations.

My experience with DeVere has changed significantly for the better since Bradley Lewis became my financial advisor a few years ago. Bradley is great at explaining different products clearly and effectively and is proactive in proposing suitable adjustments to our investments where necessary. He is consistent in communication and holds regular quarterly updates. I can highly recommend Bradley for his very personable approach combined with professional competence.

I am a Brit in my 50s who has lived in Sweden for 13 years, having worked in the UK all my working life prior to that. I have had contact with Devere in the past and always found their staff very pleasant to deal with, without regard for the fact that as a client I am not very lucrative!
On this recent occasion I really enjoyed talking with James Murray from Devere Spain as a follow up to my interest in their webinar regarding the UK NI voluntary contribution changes this April (2026).
James was very kind and courteous and enjoyable to talk to. We talked through my UK state pension and private pensions and I was given helpful advice re my current situation and the pending changes.
I can warmly recommend Devere and their personnel to anyone from the UK living abroad who needs pensions and investment advice.

Responsive thorough follow up and consistent aims to adapt to client needs

I was very impressed with the honest and transparent information provided by Declan in our call.
On this occasion the deVere group was not able to help me with my particular situation but they still went above and beyond to provide useful advice and direct me to resources (in the UK) that I've been able to use.

DeVere has consistently provided an excellent, professional service over the years. Armando Chiu with whom I’ve been working since several years is friendly, knowledgeable, and always well prepared, offering clear, easy-to-understand guidance and regular, meaningful check-ins. Communication is seamless, appointments are easy to arrange, and no question is ever too small—they go above and beyond to provide support even outside of meetings. Overall, I feel very confident and secure with my financial plan and highly recommend DeVere to anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality financial advice, especially for those managing finances internationally.
