Green Oil Plantations
Green Oil Plantations Investment Claim
This was an investment firm that specialised in investments in an Australian plantation that produced bio-fuel. The firm was identified as suitable by four SIPP providers (Hornbuckle Mitchell, Lifetime Sipp, Brooklands Trustees and Pointon York), and boasted that the market was one for substantial capacity for growth.
However, after a few years it entered administration, after having raised more than £24 million from investors. Most of these investments were made via a SIPP. The company blamed operational issues and faced cash flow difficulties as a result.
Anyone who’s SIPP was invested in Green Oil Plantations could potentially be entitled to claim their money back. The FSCS identified Green Oil Planations several years ago as an investment that could lead to potential claims, so if your SIPP contains such an investment you could be entitled to compensation.
