    1) they are not advisers.
    2) avoid at all cost. They are not regulated to carry out the transactions thy are offering and are using unregulated investments
    3) you have no consumer protection on what they are doing.
    4) the unregulated investments are administered by another company that happen to be on the same industrial park in Derby but in a different unit. Just as the SSAS company are as well. What a coincidence.
    5) they tell lies in presenting the facts about your existing pension (I have evidence available in case board admin are reviewing this post).

    If you use them, then expect to lose your pension.

  • How can I get a accurate TVE on my pension. I am concerned about the accuracy of the value I have been given

    Cancel the meeting and use a regulated company to avoid being scammed.

  • Cut out the adviser altogether and contact your fund provider.
