Invaluable Information for UK Expatriates at Europe-Wide Seminars

    BIRKIRKARA, MALTA, November 23, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The sessions are aimed at informing British expatriates of ways to build and maximum their wealth, and to share vital information regarding new laws for UK citizens overseas.

Invaluable advice and knowledge is to be offered by independent financial experts in several key destinations in Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, France, and Belgium.

deVere Group Director, Mike Coady, says the seminars are part of the Group's global commitment to reaching clients wherever they are in the world. "With the worldwide economic situation as it is, it's more important than ever to get the facts about getting the most from your money. Whether you're in France, Spain, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Belgium, or indeed anywhere, there are many ways that we can assist you in this aim; and that's why our teams are hitting the road across the continent.

"The world has changed in recent times. Which British expat can afford not to receive essential information about protecting their wealth and having the opportunity of transferring their pensions? And who can ignore the important new residency laws affecting their wealth?

"Our team of experts will share with our guests at the seminars the various options British nationals have when living abroad."

One of the main topics at the deVere Group seminars will be Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes, or QROPS, a government-approved initiative allowing UK citizens to transfer their pensions overseas.

"If you're living abroad and hold a UK-based pension scheme, you should seek advice on QROPS," says Coady. "You'll be able to slash the risks you're exposed to with the currently volatile global stock markets, take advantage of major tax benefits, and you'll avoid potential currency risks."

With an average of 60 per cent of the average pension plan invested in shares in turbulent markets, the ongoing saga of many global currencies, the major tax benefits, plus there being no compulsory obligation to buy an annuity, it is perhaps unsurprising that QROPs have been gaining increasing popularity amongst financially-aware expats since the economic downturn.
