Military Mis-sold Pension Claims
Military Pensions are one of the safest pensions around. Not simply the value, but the guaranteed benefits. However, when markets are low it is natural people look for alternative ways to increase income. This has led to many military personnel receiving bad pension advice.
Thousands of military personnel relied on advice that transferring into a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) was best for them.

WERE YOU MIS-SOLD ?
Your Financial Adviser had an obligation to make sure the pension transfer was in your best interests. Did they:
-
ask about your income, savings, tax position and finances in general?
-
ask about your outgoings - mortgages, loans and if you have any dependents such as children or elderly relatives?
-
take into consideration your retirement plans, date or financial requirements?
-
take into consideration your appetite for risk, especially if your income dropped due to your investments performing poorly?
-
ask about your health in general?
-
ask the same questions about your spouse or partner? (where applicable)
-
explain to you the costs of the transfer and any commissions involved?

What types of SIPPs were mis-sold?
The best way to understand if you have been mis-sold your SIPP pension and been the victim of SIPP mis-selling is to look at the nature of the product. If it was an exotic or non-standard high-risk investment product, it may come under the mis-sold pension banner.
There has been a wide range of SIPP investments that have become prominent in recent years. Most commonly:
Car Park Schemes
Overseas Property
Hotels
Antiques
Wines
Eco Projects
Forestry
Bitcoins
Coins
Farmland
Renewable Energy
Green Oil
Care Homes
Rain Forests
Storage Pods
Solar Power
Burial Plots
Bio Fuels
Film Production
Diamonds
Should I have transferred my Military pension?
Probably not, but in some cases in can be to your advantage. It's usually a balance between weighing up the pension benefits and investment risks.
FINAL SALARY - It rarely is a good idea to transfer your final salary pension. You may have lost out on practically guaranteed income in retirement, index linked performance, death benefits that may have allowed your spouse a large portion of your pension if you pass, plus there are usually no fees or charges to operate and manage your funds.
SIPP - SIPPs can be beneficial, but they come with risks. A SIPP is a type of pension that offers more control and choice of where your retirement fund can be invested. SIPPs were designed for experienced investors. However, some Financial Advisers have invested in inappropriate investment vehicles and exposed their client's funds to unjustified risks.
Mis-sold SIPP Pension Claims Explained.
Pensions can be one of the most tax-efficient forms of investing for retirement. The SIPP scheme (Self Invested Personal Pension) is a personal pension scheme approved by the UK government. SIPPs act as ‘wrappers’ and allow investors to have the freedom to use a wider range of investments and products in order to grow their pension fund.
Although the exact tax situation will depend on the investor’s personal circumstances, a SIPP can offer up to 45% tax relief on contributions and no capital gains tax or additional income tax to pay in the UK. SIPPs can offer a wide range of investments an investor can choose from and can include investments from a variety of sources, even overseas. However, just because there is choice it does not mean the investments are suitable even if there are tax advantages.
Due to the wide range of the investments allowed in a SIPP and the fact that they usually follow a recommendation from your financial adviser and not the SIPP company, your capital can end up being placed into riskier unregulated investments, such as high-risk hotels & commercial property, carbon credits, bio diesel and forestry. This can result in investors losing most of their pension fund.
