The Times
Most pensions are typically invested conservatively to ensure stability and security for retirement. However, a mis-sold pension can happen when a financial adviser fails to properly explain the risks and benefits of a pension transfer. This could mean not providing all the necessary information, recommending high-risk investments that don’t suit your needs, or making unrealistic promises about returns. If you have been poorly advised or pressurised into making a decision that wasn’t in your best interest, we can help.
Pensions aren’t automatically mis-sold—everyone has different financial goals and needs. However, there are some clear ‘warning signs’ that could indicate you received poor advice. If any of the following sound familiar, it’s important to reconsider whether your pension transfer was truly in your best interest:

With little financial knowledge, Ms H was mis-sold a high-risk SIPP and lost access to her £250,000 pension. We are representing her in a major compensation claim against Carey Pensions.
Approaching retirement, Mr J was advised to transfer his pensions into a high-risk property investment fund. The fund's suspension led to losses, but we secured £30,000 in compensation for him.
Instead of securing an annuity, Mr W was advised to invest his pension in a high-risk plan. He lost a significant portion of his retirement fund. We helped recover £56,500.

What This Means for You
Pension mis-selling can leave investors exposed to unnecessary risk, unsuitable investments, or significant retirement losses. Our specialist solicitors help clients pursue claims involving SIPPs, negligent pension advice, unsuitable transfers, and retirement investment failures.

If you are successful with your claim, you are entitled to a sum of compensation that puts you back into the position you would have been in had no wrong been done. This includes a claim for all of your capital losses that have been suffered, plus the gain that your pension would now be worth if it had been suitably invested instead of mis-sold. Average compensation will therefore vary immensely, but you should always aim to recover more than you originally transferred.

If the guilty party admits liability straight away, then the case might only last for a matter of months. Conversely, if it is necessary to pursue a guilty party all the way to the end of an alternative dispute resolution body’s resolution scheme, or possibly starting court proceedings, then the case may take several months longer. We believe that, with our help, we will be able to recover your pension losses as quickly as possible.
