Permission varied or cancelled on 6 August 2009
The Financial Services Authority (the FSA) issued a first Supervisory Notice on 3 July 2008, varying the firm's permission and requiring that any of the Freedom SIPP scheme fund assets held at any institution should not be released save as in accordance with the Trust Deed and the Terms and Conditions of the Freedom SIPP scheme. The FSA issued a second Supervisory Notice on 26 September 2008 continuing the asset requirement imposed on 3 July 2008. Both the first and second Supervisory Notices remain in force. Copies of the first and second Supervisory Notices have been published on the FSA's website and can be accessed using the following links: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/final/freedom_sipp_0708.pdf http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/final/freedom_sipp_0908.pdf The FSA considered it necessary to take action to vary the firm's permission as it was concerned that the firm had failed to pay due regard to the interests of its customers and to treat them fairly. Specifically, the firm failed to satisfy the FSA that it had complied with the requirements of the Trust Deed and Terms and Conditions of the Freedom SIPP scheme in relation to obtaining authorisation from scheme members to move funds from one institution to another and in notifying members of fees and charges deducted from their funds.
The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
