deVere Opens New Office in Zambia

    BIRKIRKARA, MALTA, April 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This brings the total number of deVere offices in the region to seven, and signifies the company's major commitment to this expanding market.

Zambia saw its financial situation grow in the last few years in large part due to the commodities boom, combined with debt relief and increased foreign aid. Furthermore, after little activity in the Copperbelt for many years, copper output has increased steadily since 2004, thanks to higher copper prices and the opening of new mines.

Craig Featherby, deVere's Regional Manager said, "The country's recent stability is enabling the broadening and diversification of the economy and as a result more people are moving to this area. They require financial advice that will enable them to prosper in that region and our local knowledge of the market enables us to provide the appropriate service."

deVere & Partners Investment Services (Zambia) is the latest addition to the company's growing number of offices worldwide. As more people turn to online platforms to manage their investments, deVere recently announced that it would continue to give emphasis to its online fund platform which clients can benefit from in conjunction with local assistance from a deVere adviser.
