Unregulated Investments
Bank House started working closely with unregulated introducers arranging pension investments into high-risk and unregulated investments such as Bamboo, Green Energy as well as bond investments leading to huge losses for their clients.
Following on from a visit of the FCA in 2015, it was published that the regulator left having “serious concerns” about the suitability of the firm’s pension advice leading to a voluntary agreement.
This came with a ban on any pension transfers and the completion of any existing business.
In January 2017, the regulatory body told the firm to cease all regulated activity after it had broken the voluntary arrangement when it had continued to advise customers to transfer their pension and moved funds of up to £2.6 million.
Pension Transfers
Later, the regulatory body prohibited the directors, Tristan Freer and Robert Ward, from working in the financial services industry and fined them both for providing unsuitable advice, causing clients to place their pensions in high-risk financial products in self-invested personal pensions in Hennessy Jones.
The firm had a significant financial interest in investments in loan notes and bonds with firms such as:
- ESRG Securities Services Limited
- HJ Commercial PLC t/a HJ Commercial Limited & ALLENBY COMMERCIAL PROPERTY PLC)
- HJ RESIDENTIAL LIMITED t/a HJ RESIDENTIAL PLC & ALLENBROOKE PLC
- HJ SME LIMITED t/a HJ SME PLC & MALBOROUGH EQUITY PLC
If you have had dealings with any of the firms involved you should get the transactions reviewed.
We find that some customers don’t even realise that the investments have failed, as the SIPP providers value them at purchase price until such time the client requires updated figures at point of retirement.
