“deVere China (Shanghai) and my advisor William Trayford have been excellent in keeping me updated about my investment plan. They are proactive about setting regular review meetings and keep every meeting focused on the goals that I have set. Outside of this, they are always available with advice about all aspects of financial planning, including advice for British expats looking into the complicated National Insurance contribution system. I have felt comfortable working with them and am happy to recommend them to anyone.”

He is very straightforward, listens to my needs, and recommends products that work. He also has created a bigger footprint for deVere through interesting seminar series and social events that are well-run and much anticipated. Best deVere adviser I have had to date!”

I have found William very considerate, extremely helpful and straightforward when giving me advice on my SIPP and related investment decisions. It is my wish that our relationship will carry on for a long time and I take this opportunity to thank William for his services to me.”

Kanu Patel
Retired - Previously Senior Project Manager / Resident Engineer, HOK

“William Trayford has been my deVere Financial advisor since 2015. He has demonstrated considerable acumen in guiding my investments, enabling me to become more diverse with a balance of risk within my reference terms.
Previous encounters with Financial Advisors have used a similar tool to find my level of risk tolerance. However, Will, really discovered my risk balance through his genuine interest in my personal, family and future needs and desires. As such my investment growth has been extremely satisfactory, with few worries, and any and all problems sorted quickly.
I thoroughly recommend William to anybody looking for a personal financial advisor and not simply a broker.”

Chris Walmsley
Lead Pilot, Sino Jet

“I have been a client with deVere for many years, and William has been my adviser since 2016. During this time he has provided excellent service, meeting me on a regular basis to give sound financial planning advice – whether it’s retirement planning or preparing for my daughter’s university fees. William has also guided my investment, in a safe and secure manner, from a relatively poor position to a situation where we are now seeing very positive growth. I am happy to recommend him as a knowledgeable and trustworthy adviser.”

Herbert Hofmann
Vice President CRM and Managing Director, ASM Assembly Systems Ltd

“I have been an expat in China and client with DeVere for more than 10years, and William took over my account around 5yrs ago. I have met and been involved with a significant number of financial advisors during my time as an expat and have to commend William on his support and advice. The aspect that sets William apart has been his attention to developing solutions tailored to my personal circumstances and requirements. William has been proactive in identifying the type of investments that suit my risk/reward profile and identifying new products and/or changes to my present investments that could be advantageous to me. In addition Will is always quick to follow up and respond to any questions and concerns I have on new of existing activities. I look forward to a long continuing working relationship.”

Jeff Langston

“I have been William’s client and a client of deVere since 2015, when William helped me to transfer my UK pension. Ever since, my wife and I have been very happy with the excellent service and advice that we have received. Our pension has grown year-on-year, and as we’re reaching retirement he has helped us to plan so that we can enjoy our life in the sun!
William has always put our interests first, with regular reviews and updates, and he makes himself available whenever we have any questions or need help. We would gladly recommend William to any expat that needs advice on their UK pension.”
