Pensions allowance cut could create as many problems as it solves

Tim Wixted of Neglect Asssist tells Private Client Adviser that a new annuities market announced in the 2015 Budget could create as many problems as it solves.

If the stock market crashes, retired people would be left in a disastrous situation – they can’t wait five or ten years for markets to recover…

Mr Wixted told the publication: “Besides the problems from misselling, moving out of an annuity means their income stops being stable and starts being more unpredictable. For instance, many funds are ultimately linked to equities, so if the stock market crashes, retired people would be left in a disastrous situation – they can’t wait five or ten years for markets to recover.”

He added: “We are not a nation of savvy investors, and our research shows the vast majority of middle aged and retirement aged people do not understand even basic financial terms. This is unlikely to change as very few people are even willing to spend a few pounds on an investing guide – under 4 per cent according to our research, compared to 24 per cent who would primarily use the internet to for free advice.”

Why choose Neglect Assist?

We are a firm of solicitors who specialise in negligence law with over 20 solicitors dedicated to this area. We have pioneered the use of “No Win, No Fee” Agreements in negligence law since their introduction in the 1990s. We only take cases on if we are able to offer a “No Win, No Fee” Agreement. Furthermore, the insurers who pay our clients compensation are also obliged under English Law to pay our legal costs on top and therefore, usually from the onset of the case, we can confirm with our clients that, if unsuccessful, they will pay nothing.

Mis-selling or mis-management by a SIPP Operator?

Have you suffered financial losses on a SIPP operated by a SIPP operator? If so, then you may have grounds for bringing a No Win No Fee claim.

Some SIPP operators have entered into dealings with third party advisers who are not authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to give pension or investment advice. This is despite their regulatory body publishing alerts and giving warnings against such actions.
