Carduus Housing is another high-risk, unregulated investment that’s been mis-sold to investors, quite often as part of their SIPP

High-risk, unregulated investments are not covered by The Financial Conduct Authority, which means there is no protection in the event things go wrong.

They are not usually suitable for the average investor because of the risks involved and the potential to lose money.

Financial mis-selling and SIPPs

Financial mis-selling can occur as a result of people being advised into products when they shouldn’t be. You may have received financial advice to transfer your pension into a SIPP which has unsuitable investments like Carduus Housing.

Whether this is down to poor advice or plain greed on behalf of the adviser, who could be getting commission for recommending a particular product, doesn’t matter.

If you were wrongly advised about your pension by a regulated company or individual then you may be able to make a claim for compensation.
