In January 2018 the FSCS declared Montpellier Pension Administration Services Ltd in default, relating to how they owned and operated SIPPs on a range of investments, including offshore property, Store Pods, and oil fields.
This is a significant step for the FSCS as this is a SIPP operator rather than the adviser. The FSCS said this was a result of due diligence failing and was made at the same time as Brooklands Trustees and Stadia Trustees were also declared to be in default.
