    What is an SIPP?

    SIPP stands for Self-Invested Personal Pension. It is a type of personal pension scheme in the UK that allows individuals to have more control over their pension investments. With a SIPP, individuals can choose and manage a wide range of investments, including stocks, bonds, funds, and commercial property, to build their retirement fund. It offers greater flexibility and choice compared to traditional pension plans.

    What are the benefits & risks of an SIPP?

    Benefits of an SIPP:

    • Greater investment control and flexibility.
    • Opportunity for potentially higher returns due to a broader range of investment options.
    • Ability to consolidate multiple pension plans into a single SIPP for easier management.

    Risks of an SIPP:

    • Investment risk: The value of investments can fluctuate, and there is no guarantee of returns.
    • Complexity: SIPP investing requires knowledge and understanding of financial markets and investments.
    • Higher fees: SIPP providers may charge higher fees than traditional pension schemes.

    How were SIPPs mis-sold?

    SIPPs were mis-sold in the UK through a variety of practices that led to financial losses for some investors.

    One of the main mis-selling issues was the promotion of SIPPs to individuals who were unsuitable candidates for self-managed investments or lacked the necessary understanding of the risks involved. Some financial advisors and firms incentivized the sale of high-risk and illiquid assets within SIPPs without adequately disclosing the potential drawbacks.

    Additionally, investors were not always informed about the high fees associated with certain SIPP investments. These mis-selling practices resulted in some individuals suffering significant financial losses and prompted regulatory actions to address the issue.

    What should I do if I believe my SIPP was sold incorrectly?

    If you believe your SIPP was sold incorrectly, seek professional advice from a financial expert or a claims management company specialising in SIPPs to assess your case and explore potential compensation options. Contact us today to discuss your SIPP claim.
