This move marks the company's first licensed operation in the country as part of a [broader international expansion strategy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocky-unveils). deVere Canada's new office targets internationally mobile professionals, entrepreneurs, expatriates, and globally connected families who require sophisticated multi-jurisdiction advice. The business seeks to address the growing complexity of holding assets, pensions, investments, and financial obligations across several countries simultaneously. With over $14 billion dollars under advisement through its existing network spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, deVere’s Toronto operation will initially concentrate on insurance and protection planning while supporting broader international wealth structuring needs. The company has made public plans to expand further across Canada through late 2026 and into 2027.
