As the first international financial advisory group to achieve full corporate membership since the Institute gained its Royal Charter, the deVere Group is proud to promote the continuing professional development scheme with our Financial Advisors worldwide and insist that every advisor passed local exams together with obtaining CISI status. As part of this membership, our Financial Advisors will maintain and develop their knowledge, skills and will promote the highest standards in the investment industry.”
