If you received advice from Grosvenor Butterworth Limited you may want to check if you should be claiming compensation for mis-selling

Established in 1992, Cardiff based advice firm Grosvenor Butterworth (Financial Services) Limited, closed its doors in 2018.

This came after the Financial Conduct Authority said recommendations they had given to clients to invest in the Discretionary Fund Manager Beaufort Securities, were “unsatisfactory”.

Beaufort Securities

Even Beaufort Securities themselves expressed concern. Reports at the time claimed they had sent letters to their clients advising them to seek advice. Especially regarding the suitability of the recommendations made to invest with Beaufort and if they had grounds to make a compensation claim.

Loss of authorisation and administration

The company were initially placed under a section 166 review. This meant they had to have the supervision of a third party to review its practises regarding certain regulated activities, which included advising on pension transfers. 

In 2018 the FCA went on to stop Grosvenor Butterworth’s regulated activity altogether and they are no longer authorised. The company went into administration in 2019.

What is pension mis-selling?

Quite often pension mis-selling happens as a result of poor or negligent financial advice. A regulated adviser or company has a duty to ensure the recommendations they make are suitable to your needs and risk profile.

If they didn’t this could be mis-selling and you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
