Heritage Ltd Background
The Brooklands Trustees Limited was a financial management firm who developed a subsidiary known as Brooklands SIPP specialising in pension investments. Brooklands Trustees Limited entered into administration in August 2016 allowing Heritage Ltd to acquire clients whilst the Financial Ombudsman was investigating adjudications against them.
Brooklands Trustees management later came to the decision to sell the responsibility of managing and running the Brooklands SIPP in the UK to Heritage Limited. Due to this change of management, all claims regarding a lack of regulation and due diligence were redirected to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Heritage included several unregulated and high-risk investments into their portfolio of approved investments, unfortunately other SIPP providers such as Harlequin Property had also followed suit.
The majority of investors in Harlequin Property lost their entire investment, therefore if you have dealt with Heritage Pensions or Brooklands Trustees it is very possible you may have lost money and could be entitled to financial redress or compensation.
