Complaints

The Financial Ombudsman Service upheld complaints against Agincourt Financial Ltd in February 2020.

These complaints involved clients who were advised to open a Self-Invested Personal Pension so they could invest in CFD trading with Saxo Capital Markets.

While Agincourt did not advise on the pension transfers or investment, as a regulated company, they still had a responsibility in their role as Discretionary Fund Managers.

The FOS upheld these complaints, saying that Agincourt should have advised these clients that the CFD trading account was not suitable for the investment.

 

Investment mis-selling

Investment mis-selling can happen due to people being mis-advised about the suitability of an investment.

CFD’s – Contracts For Difference – are complex, high -risk, unregulated investments and generally considered an unsuitable investment option for the average retail clients.

According to the FCA regulations, there are 3 key factors in determining whether an investment is suitable:

  • Does the investment match the risk that the investor is prepared to take?
  • Do they have the knowledge and understanding to understand the level of risk they are taking?
  • Is the investment consistent with their financial circumstances, i.e., do they have the capacity to withstand the scale of the financial loss they are exposed to?

Financial advice may also be unsuitable if you were recommended to place most of your funds into a single high-risk investment, as these clients were.

 

Latest on Agincourt Financial Ltd

A thoroughly positive result and experience. In all honesty I didn't have much hope of any success following a truly dodgy pension investment. I spent years angry at myself then decided to let these guys have a go on my behalf. It took hardy any effort on my part and they kept me fully informed, then out of the blue I got a call saying they have won all my pension back plus more and within days it hit my account. Thrilled with their effort and professionalism. I dealt with a few different staff and all were informative, polite and helpful. I great end to a terrible situation. 100% genuine review and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you.

I was approached by Pension Claim Consulting after the company that was handle ing my SIPP had been investigated by the Financial Ombudsmen and informed me i had a case, with this information given to me i agreed to let them represent me in trying to reclaim my investment. All through the process i was informed of every step and on a regular basis even though it took many months the outcome was successful and i was reimbursed fully. This is a fantastic company to work with and dedicated staff who know their business. Many Thanks. Mike Dixon.
