Financial loss on SIPPs with Carey Pensions UK LLP

Many people have suffered financial losses investing or transferring their pension funds into a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) provided by Carey Pensions UK LLP.

The SIPP has acted as a wrapper in many instances for investment of funds into high risk or illiquid investments which are wholly unsuitable for pension fund investments. This has led to people suffering devastating financial losses on their pension funds and in some situations, the full fund value has been lost entirely.

We are aware of particular problems and instances of high levels of financial loss on the following SIPPs provided by Carey Pensions UK LLP;

We are acting for over 40 clients who have suffered losses on these funds provided by Carey Pensions UK LLP. If you are similarly affected then we would like to hear from you as we may be able to assist you in bringing a no win, no fee claim to recover your losses.

Carey Pensions UK LLP are a company whose business activities are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), who are the relevant regulatory body for the financial services industry.

This means they are subject to strict professional standards and have to abide by rules and regulations prescribed by the FCA. Breaches of these provisions could mean that they are liable for any subsequent financial losses suffered by their clients and customers.

We believe that Carey Pensions UK LLP have breached several important, fundamental regulatory rules prescribed by the FCA with regards to the dealings they have had with customers who invest into SIPPs which they provide.

The Financial Ombudsman Service have previously stated that SIPP providers such as Carey Pensions UK LLP have a duty to warn customers not to proceed with unsuitable SIPP investments. In our experience, there are a considerable number of cases where this has not happened.

In our cases, advice to invest in, or transfer to, a SIPP provided by Carey Pensions UK LLP has commonly been given by third parties who in many cases are unauthorised and who are not regulated by the FCA.

However, these third parties act as an introducer to Carey Pensions UK LLP. In such circumstances, it may be possible to establish that Carey Pensions UK LLP are liable for losses caused by reliance upon such advice.

This position is enforced by statute. Section 27 of the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 allows a customer to recover losses which have been caused by making investments through authorised firms where this follows advice or recommendations made by unauthorised firms.

We are proceeding with a significant number of cases where our clients have suffered financial losses after being introduced to Carey Pensions UK LLP by an unauthorised and unregulated party and would welcome contact from anyone who has been similarly affected.

• We have over 15 years’ specialist experience in financial services professional negligence with a team of lawyers working exclusively on these cases.
• You only normally get one shot at making a pension or investment mis-selling claim.  If it is not done properly it can be rejected.  It is important you submit the right evidence, presented in the right way and emphasising important points.  Unlike claims submitted to the Ombudsman who only uphold up to 60% of pension and investment complaints*, if we take your case on and it is within time limits, we are successful in over 95% of our cases.
• We only operate on a “no win, no fee” basis.  If you are not successful you do not pay us a penny.
• We are leaders in pension and investment negligent law and are frequently asked by newspapers, TV and radio for commentary on this area of law.  We also give lectures on our specialist work to other lawyers.
• We are pursuing several ground-breaking group claims.  One such case was Adams v Options SIPP.  Hundreds of our clients had their pensions defrauded by unregulated introducers and advisers.  These advisers had disappeared with the money and the Ombudsman had rejected many complaints because these advisers were unregulated.  We pursued claims against the self-invested personal pension (SIPP) operators for failing to make proper checks on these introducers and other regulatory breaches.  After years of fighting, including losing the first court case, we persuaded the Court of Appeal these pension operators were liable.  Thousands of pensioners have been able to recover their lost pensions as a result.
