Americans in Europe: How to unlock and consolidate pensions

Feb. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- On Wednesday 14th March (19:00) at the NH Hotel in Diegem, Matthew Footner, from the deVere Group; David Erhardt, the Pensions Director at STM Group; and senior representatives from JP Morgan, the global asset management firm, will host a free seminar about how American residents in Belgium have a raft of specialist tools available to them to achieve enhanced financial security.

"America citizens who reside in Europe are fortunate, as they're able to unlock and consolidate their European assets by transferring them to tax-efficient, flexible and accessible jurisdictions. The retirement plans, regulated within the EU, have the potential to offer more flexibility and higher benefits, rather than leaving their pension locked in their home country," explains Footner, partner in Brussels of the deVere Group, the world's largest financial advisory firm.

The speakers at the seminar will also explain how the current Euro-zone situation affects American residents' investments.

"The well-documented financial woes of Europe are a key issue - but there are many options for US citizens to protect their funds and we will be exploring ways to do this," confirms Footner.  

He adds: "American expatriates require very specialist planning strategies to maximise and secure their funds and the panel will be providing up-to-date, relevant and independent advice.  We look forward to meeting as many US residents as possible on Wednesday 14th March at the NH Hotel in Diegem."
