InvestUS - PCP Claims
This scheme involved the purchase of repossessed real estate in the US which would be refurbished and then either sell or let the property. Problems emerged however when investors didn’t see any return on their investments, despite huge returns being promised to them.
Although this is an unregulated investment, many regulated advisors did provide advice to transfer pensions to a SIPP that included investments such as these as part of, or as the entire, portfolio. As a result claims are possible against the advisors are possible. 1000’s of investors are potentially affected by this.
The scheme has run into problems in the past and no guarantee on returns has been made. Shockingly, many customers were completely unaware that their pension would be transferred to a SIPP that would include investments such as these.
Claims have made relating the Independent Financial Advisor who sold many of these arrangements, who may have also had links to the investment itself – a clear potential conflict of interest.
