"The directors all advised clients to transfer their pensions funds into Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs), but failed to adequately explain to clients that their money was subsequently loaned to high-risk investments based in Mauritius, and therefore not subject to regulation by UK authorities.
Both firms received referrals through Hennessy Jones Ltd, which had a significant financial interest in the SIPPs, and had also designed the advice process the firms used."
The financial advisory firm Strachan and Windram Limited has had its FCA authorization revoked, and from 13/07/12 onwards, they are no longer allowed to offer any regulated financial services or products.
As a result, individuals who had previously invested their pension funds with Strachan and Windram (and subsequently suffered financial losses) are now likely to qualify for compensation.
Corporate & Professional Pensions Limited is under administration
Corporate & Professional engaged the services of insolvency experts, leading the directors to acknowledge the company's insolvency and its inability to continue its operations without undergoing an insolvency procedure.
This situation arose due to the firm's inability to meet its financial obligations concerning the final decisions made by the Financial Ombudsman Service in connection with the due diligence conducted by the firm before embarking on certain pension investments.
When people buy pension products, they should be given high-quality financial advice that is appropriate for their situation and in their best interests. In some cases, bad or misleading advice may have been provided resulting in substantial losses and poor performance.
Bad performance in itself doesn’t mean a pension was mis-sold, but if you were advised to transfer your pension into another scheme without being given sufficient information about the product, and the new pension scheme was unsuitable for your needs, your pension may have been mis-sold. If you believe you were misled about your pension, you may be able to claim compensation.

In some instances, some pension advisors might have intentionally given bad advice to clients just so they could earn bigger commissions. This could have encouraged you to invest in high-risk sectors or promised unrealistic returns on investments.
Making a mis-sold pension claim can help you recover your lost pension funds and hold the responsible parties to account.

Mis-sold pensions can sometimes take several months, and sometimes up to a year, to reach a conclusion. Time taken can often depend on how quickly we are able to obtain the information relating to your claim, plus the complexity of the case.
Where the claim is accepted, there will usually be an offer of compensation. We will handle the whole process on your behalf and deal with the pension advisor or company.
Some of the mis-sold pension claims we handle involve companies or advisors that have ceased trading. In these circumstances, claims can take longer as we will need to take the matter up with the FSCS if needed. Contact us today for a free consultation and a time estimate regarding your claim.
