Have you suffered financial loss by investing or transferring your pension funds into a Self-Invested Personal Pension provided by Rowanmoor Personal Pensions Limited?
If so, get in touch with us for free, non-obligation advice on your potential options for redress.
The Self-Invested Personal Pension (“SIPP”) provider Rowanmoor Personal Pensions Limited (“Rowanmoor”) entered into administration on 31 August 2022. Evelyn Partners LLP has been appointed as the administrator.
On the same day, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced on its website that it is in contact with the administrators and they are looking into the options available for Rowanmoor’s clients. One option could be the transfer of Rowanmoor’s clients to another FCA-regulated SIPP provider.
In the meantime, if they have not already done so, Rowanmoor clients could be entitled to bring claims against the SIPP provider at the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”).
We understand that the administration is a result of Rowanmoor being subject to a number of adverse Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”) final decisions, decisions that it was unable to pay. These decisions related to Rowanmoor’s lack of due diligence prior to its acceptance of many high-risk and non-standard investments into its SIPP, including ‘The Resort Group’ – a Cape Verde-based property investment.
In this scenario, the FSCS may sometimes award compensation because of a SIPP provider’s lack of due diligence on an unsuitable investment. We have already been successful in many cases where SIPP providers have overseen high-risk pension investments, including in The Resort Group.
In some circumstances, such cases can also succeed against SIPP providers like Rowanmoor at the FSCS, even if a financial adviser was also involved in the pension transfer or gave advice on investments, and compensation has already been obtained. Typically, the FSCS will calculate an additional award of compensation equal to the price the investor paid for the investment(s), plus the SIPP fees and charges they paid, less any income they received from the investment(s) and any compensation already received.
If you were advised to establish a Rowanmoor SIPP and invest into a high-risk, unregulated investment, such as The Resort Group, there may be grounds for you to successfully pursue a claim at the FSCS and recover compensation. This may be the case if you were advised by a regulated financial adviser, or an unregulated introducer. You may also have received compensation from your financial adviser already, but you could be entitled to a further award from your SIPP provider.
We would like to hear from anyone to whom this may apply. We may be able to assist you in bringing a No Win, No Fee claim to recover your full losses. We are the solicitors who were successful in a ground-breaking case (Adams v Options UK Personal Pensions LLP) that has already resulted in Claimants receiving higher compensation (and may result further in the future) because we successfully argued compensation should also be given for the lost performance of existing pension investments before transfer.
Please contact us for further advice, and one of our Solicitors will call you back at a convenient time.
Please note that it is understood that existing complaints currently lodged at the FOS against Rowanmoor will be automatically transferred to the FSCS.
Several SIPP providers have been held accountable for failing to protect investors from high-risk and unsuitable pension investments. Below are some SIPP providers that have faced legal action and complaints due to regulatory failings:
