S.I.P.P. Compensation

Were you miss-sold a S.I.P.P.? Self Invested Personal Pension?

Following the pensions freedoms in 2015 many people were offered considerable sums of money to leave their work pension, this was understandably an attractive option. Often they were advised to transfer into a S.I.P.P. after which they took some cash out to spend.SIPP Compensation

The Problem with S.I.P.P.s:

They are not recommended for the general public

They were specifically created to allow seasoned investors the opportunity to take more risks, and are not recommended for the general public.

Fees are way too high

They allow for high management fees which is why financial advisors like to recommended them! We have seen cases where the fees are so high that the pension pot reduces substantially each year until only a fraction of it is left.

Unregulated investments

When things go wrong there is no protection and you can potentially can lose everything. It is your pension and you do not want to invest in unregulated products.

High Risk investments

Pensions should be safe. S.I.P.P.’s allow high risk investments which are unsafe and not suitable for pensions for most people.

High Commissions

  • High commissions are offered to financial advisers to recommend a SIPP.
  • High commissions are available to financial advisors who recommend high risk investment products.
  • High commissions are available to financial advisors who recommend unregulated investments.
  • The incentive to sell you something which is unsuitable is obvious!

Does any of the following apply to you?

Lack of understanding – you did not understand the process or investment that you were advised on?

Hard sales or pressure selling – you felt uncomfortable or pressured into an investment that you didn’t really need or want?

Given poor advice – you were advised to switch, even though your existing scheme was more suitable?

Not clear about the fees – you were not made aware about the management fees?

No advice given on risks – you were not made aware of the risky nature of the investments?

Tax avoidance – did your advisor say a SIPP could be used for tax avoidance?

If any of the above applies to you it could mean you are eligible for SIPPs compensation.

Example of Cases

Mr B from West Bromwich – £200,000

Mr B from West Bromwich was advised to take out a SIPP after he was made redundant from a major engineering company for whom he had worked for over 30 years. He was able to transfer his final salary pension which had a transfer value of over £500,000. He was advised to put the money into a SIPP on the promise of wonderful returns. We carried out a review and found that the investments were unregulated, inappropriate and subject to high fees and difficult to access. We secured compensation of over £200,000.

Mr J from Sheffield – £350,000

M J from Sheffield was advised to take out a SIPP after leaving a senior management position at a retail company. His transfer value was £800,000. He was advised to put the money into a SIPP which was invested in heavily unregulated investments and which promised huge returns but, were in fact highly speculative and risked losing everything. We carried out a review and successfully secured compensation of over £350,000.
