Who are Rowanmoor?
Rowanmoor claim to be one of the UK’s leading pensions providers, with a wide range of self-invested pension options. The Rowanmoor SIPP was first launched in 2009 and included single investment and full investment SIPP options.
Rowanmoor first hit the headlines in 2020 when it faced hundreds of complaints around the performance of their investments, particularly the offshore property scheme The Resort Group. These overseas investments were promoted by Rowanmoor, and offered “20 per cent” annual returns on investment.
The Resort Group investors were often introduced by unregulated financial advisers, and many investors were not suitable. Investors were also not made aware of the high risk nature of the investment.
The FOS received hundreds of complaints about the lack of due diligence carried out by SIPP providers, with the majority of complaints being against Rowanmoor. If you have invested money through Rowanmoor, you may be entitled to compensation. We’d advise getting in touch as soon as possible.
What is a mis-sold SIPP?
SIPPs were introduced in 1989 as a method for individuals to take greater control of their pensions pot. They were created, however, for experienced investors due to their risky nature. These investors would be able to take more risks, but the financial product was never intended for the general public.
SIPP transactions are sought after by financial advisors due to the high fees that are involved. This leads to many advisors telling their clients to transfer into a SIPP even when it is not suitable. A lot of the time, it is simply for the commission.
Savers can lose thousands by investing their money into SIPP schemes which are very high risk, such as overseas property investments, plantations, storage pods and car parks. If the risks are not properly explained by their financial advisor, they are liable.
Smooth Commercial Law have seen that a lot of advisers have advised clients to transfer their existing pension into a SIPP and then to invest into one of a number of unregulated high risk, dodgy or inappropriate investment schemes which have ended up being complete disasters. These might include, for example:
- Overseas investments
- Hotels and holiday properties
- Forestry
- Green energy
- Biodiesel and environmental projects
If you have been affected and have lost money as a result of invested into a SIPP, our friendly can potentially help you claim a big portion, if not all of it, back. Get in touch to find out if we can help.
Rowanmoor SIPP is “closed for business”
In August 2020, Rowanmoor officially closed down the SIPP part of the firm for any new business. It confirmed on its website that it would remain open for its existing clients, but was not opening any new accounts up.
