Inter-Alliance International Group announce International IFA Seminar
Inter-Alliance International (IAI) is pleased to announce that
it will be holding its next International IFA Seminar in Kuala Lumpur
from 24th to 27th May 2005. The seminar is a further demonstration
of IAI's commitment to the training and development of their international
IFAs.
IAI Group has seen its turnover figures leap for the second year
in succession, with a growth of 96% recorded for 2004, following
turnover growth of 81% in 2003. The Group's annual turnover now
exceeds US$17m, and is generating profits.
To be held in Kuala Lumpur, the seminar will be attended by IFAs
from the international Group's subsidiaries in Africa, Asia, Europe,
and the Middle East, as well as by IFA Members of Inter-Alliance
WorldNet, IAI's international network. Over 50 IFAs have confirmed
their attendance and the required sponsorship has already been secured
from international product providers.
Within the seminar theme, "The Winning Edge", delegates
will be encouraged to focus on sharpening their professional and
technical skills so that they constantly enhance their ability to
"win" sales and clients. Syndicate sessions will encourage
them to continuously adapt to the ever-changing environment within
the international financial services industry.
Delegates and Sponsors will have the opportunity to meet with industry
leaders and to share information on changes taking place within
various jurisdictions in the offshore world, as well as to catch
up on industry developments, products and services.
Brian Cosgrave, Chief Executive of Inter-Alliance International
Group, said:
"After our very successful seminars in Cyprus, Dubai and
Kenya, I am delighted that we have selected Malaysia for our next
international IFA seminar. There is no doubting the value of these
gatherings, and the very positive response we have been receiving
from delegates and sponsors alike, indicates that we have been getting
the formula just right. We have long recognized the need for a greater
level of professionalism within the international IFA community
and we have made clear our intentions in this regard for quite some
time now. We are committed to the education, training, and ongoing
development of all IFAs operating under our brands and we are developing
processes and systems to ensure that international clients are provided
with the highest standards of advice and service."
