Welcome to Devere Group Community

The worst investment decision of my life. The 2021 Stockmarket is at record high's and a 16yrs (based on their advice) old invest through Devere Indonesia the investment is at 40% of its initial value.

Is it high management fee's or bad advice? I will never know because they do not give you statements and it is very difficult for them to return correspondence. Once your money is there you will not get any management or correspondence. I am now jumping through hoops (5+ months) as they shift my file to and from office's around Asia, to retrieve a savings fund for my son education.

He is now close to graduation. So the idea of the fund was a joke. I am still wondering if I will see my money.

Devere has cost me more time and money... Stay away.

User's recommendation: Avoid.

The Four Seasons Growth Plan.

A substantial Investment was made into an unregulated scheme, which was not suitable for my portfolio. I was not advised, not made aware of the risk and no communication followed during the suspension, it also appears that no action was/has been made by Devere to recover my investment.

Like many it seems I was given misguided advice from deVere in South Africa. In particular the failed Strategic Growth Fund. This was through what was called Generali Vision and now Utmost Vision.

Having finally seen a statement today it seems my ‘Pension’ that I was being sold has lost 50% of its value in a decade.

User's recommendation: Don't use!

My dissatisfaction is well documented the continuous message that DeVere strive to excel in their advice is mind blowing. Are all the contributors to this site liars ?

Again I say to De Vere ,WHAT DO THE FOLLOWING WORDS MEAN TO YOU "THIS ADVICE REPORT IS VALID FOR 3 MONTHS" .

What do DeVere do ? buy very poor high commission funds 6 months after the report expired !and without any notification whatsoever quarterly reviews hav,nt had one yet even after 4 years, TAKE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENTS

User's recommendation: IF YOU ARE RETIRING TO SPAIN THEN KEEP AWAY FROM DEVERE THERE IS NO TAX BENEFIT UNLESS YOU ARE A MILLIONAIRE.

I sent a request to surrender my policy on the 8th of May, I was asked to send more information which did not make sense and was from an automated email with little explanations. After several emails, I sent the required information on 13th May and I am still waiting for my funds!

It's bad enough that I have lost over $29,000 but they are taking forever to repay me whatever little they claim I am entitled to. This company is a huge scam and I will definitely warn anyone and everyone about investing their hard earned cash through one of their products. The response to m initial review proves my point, how can I not know what I am talking about. When I took this policy with Devere I was based in Dubai, not South Africa.

Devere does have offices in Dubai.

I have been contacting the Dubai office to get back my money so I know what I am talking about. Instead of asking for more information they come back with a stupid response.

User's recommendation: Do not waste your hard earned cash on them! Bunch of scanners!

This company accept absolutely no responsibility for their employees not honouring the promises they made when I invested the money. They offered me no advice despite the fact that they advertise themselves as investment advisors.

I still do not not know the status of the investment or whether they only exist on paper.

The local representative says he cannot advise me. No resolution at all.

User's recommendation: Do not invest.

I moved my small QROPS of £58000 and 5 years later in a period of financial growth of about 10% per year I made a loss and they took £6250 in fees. How can this be legitimate.

So disappointed and a little angry. Trust once lost is never recovered.

It seems like I only contact by the Finacial Advisor when it is of their interest to sell new products or if I provide the contact number for potential new clients.

It is VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Several years ago DeVere moved assets in my QROPS, without approval, then lost money by opening a new savings account with Generali instead of Amending the existing simply to get commissions, I find this out at a later date when I finally found a trustworthy Adviser, but the really difficult part is DeVere keep calling me and asking me to return which is no only unprofessional but extremely annoying ..

As many others i hav lost much money due to the misguided advice from deVere. In particular the failed Strategic Growth Fund, but also manual processing errors on deVere's side are main contributors.

Apparently the Generali Vision is called now Utmost Vision, without any information, and today i got informed that Utmost Wealth Solutions have made calculations mistakes and as a result must adjust my plan value down 10kEUR.

Outrageous! Can anyone be trusted in this industry?

Any advice on good legal support for this case welcome.

My name is Armando Petrozzi, with Plan Number 9402****. Invested US$62000 but now my plan value is US$52,000.

Despite the fund itseflf has shown 25% profitability in the last 5 years the value of my plan has shown LOSSES of US$9000 due to charges made by DeVere.

I have written my assigned relationship with no response.

I will wait until this week for a formal response. If negative, will start legal actions to recover the funds.

Hi,

I'm on Linked in as are many millions of others.

Like many millions of others I have moved around due to my senior roles; this is demonstrated by my role locations in my profile.

Every week I seek your people stalking my profile.

Devere - This does NOT give you the right to screen my profile, obtain my details and then continue to call every 2 weeks asking about where my pension is - I know you are doing this to many others.

I've been polite 30 times and explained NO and asked for you to remove me from your lists...only to find a different person then calling me a week later.

Completely Unprofessional. I will be speaking with LinkedIn about your practices including obtaining contact information & asking for your company to have access removed
