The provider of your Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) may be at fault for any pension losses that you’ve experienced.

The company known as Stadia Trustees may also be known to you as Munro SIPP, Liberator SIPP, Ipswich SIPP, Investor Club SIPP, Hero SIPP, Essex Community Foundation SIPP, Essential SIPP, and Noisnep SIPP. If you have lost money with any of these companies, you may be entitled to compensation.

The financial regulator investigated Stadia Trustees back in 2011 as part of its drive to combat the risks that unregulated Collective Investment Schemes and small companies were exposing clients to. As a result of this, Mattioli Woods was brought in to assist the company and immediately set about securing the benefits of clients by moving their assets over to different pension arrangements. It was estimated that some 80% of all Stadia Trustees clients were exposed to some type of none standard assets and more than 50% of clients had all of their pension fund invested into these types of assets.

It became clear that the company wasn’t performing the required level of due diligence when accepting pension transfers that were then put into none standard and high risk types of investments. By not being compliant, it was often to the detriment of Stadia Trustees clients as they transferred their pension without being given sound advice from a regulated IFA. This meant that there was no way for them to seek financial redress if anything was ever to go wrong.

The none standard investments eventually collapsed and many clients lost their entire pension pot. To add insult to injury, they were then left in a pension plan where they were required to pay expensive charges and fees.

If you are someone who has a family pension trust, Small Self-Administered Scheme, or SIPP that was arranged by Munro SIPP, Liberator SIPP, Ipswich SIPP, Investor Club SIPP, Hero SIPP, Essex Community Foundation SIPP, Essential SIPP, or Noisnep SIPP then you may be entitled to claim for compensation. It is important to understand that Mattioli Woods is not the company responsible for the investments failing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pension mis-selling occurs when a financial adviser provides unsuitable advice to transfer or invest your pension into schemes that are inappropriate for your financial situation or risk appetite. This could include high-risk investments or inappropriate pension transfers, such as moving a defined benefit pension into a riskier scheme.

You may have been mis-sold a pension if:
– You were advised to move your pension into high-risk investments without understanding the risks.
– You were not informed of exit fees or charges when transferring your pension.
– You were advised to transfer out of a defined benefit pension, which led to financial losses.
If these situations sound familiar, you could be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Compensation depends on the extent of your losses. Typically, it includes financial losses due to bad advice or mismanagement, including lost returns, exit fees, and fees paid for services that were not delivered. We assess your case and help you understand the potential amount of compensation.

There are time-barring restrictions for pension mis-selling claims, usually six years from when the advice was given, or three years from when you realised the pension was mis-sold. It’s important to act quickly to ensure your claim is within the legal timeframe.

The process involves:
– A free consultation to assess your case.
– Gathering of all necessary evidence, such as contracts and statements.
– Submission of your claim to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or other relevant bodies.
We handle the entire process for you and keep you informed throughout.

Our services are provided on a no-win-no-fee basis, meaning you will only pay if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. There are no upfront costs or hidden fees.

Yes. If Barton Hatcher Ingram Financial Management Limited is no longer trading, you can still make a claim through the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which handles claims for firms that have gone into liquidation.

The time it takes to process a pension mis-selling claim can vary based on the complexity of the case and the involvement of other parties. On average, claims can take several months to a year to resolve, but we will work diligently to handle your case as efficiently as possible.
