    /24-7PressRelease/ - LONDON, UK - October 25, 2006 - October 25, 2006: Nigel Green, Managing Director of the deVere & Partners Group, once again has been selected to serve among the expert judges of the globally renowned Portfolio International Awards.

The prestigious Annual PI Awards recognise the best industry practices in the realms of International Life Assurance, Banking, Health Insurance, Portfolio Management Services, Funds of Hedge Funds, Property Funds, Multi-Manager Services and Funds of Private Equity Funds.

Mr. Green, who has close to three decades of experience in the Financial Services industry, formed deVere & Partners in 1998. Since then, he has been instrumental in the company's transformation into the world's largest and most respected Offshore Independent Financial Advisory Services business.

"I am both pleased and proud to be chosen among the judges for the 2006 PI Awards," said Mr. Green. "The highly sought-after Awards provide well-deserved recognition of the best and brightest in our industry, and I am honoured to take part in the process."

Unlike with many other industry awards, the PI Award judges do not simply examine past performance, but delve much deeper into the structure of teams and the processes and systems they have in place.

Winners will be announced on Friday, November 17th, 2006 at the PI Awards Ceremony in central London.
