Guardian – GPC SIPP Ltd

If you moved your pension into a GPC SIPP you may want to check if you should be claiming compensation for mis-selling

GPC SIPP Ltd, previously known as Guardian Pension Consultants Ltd, was a SIPP provider. They reportedly administered around 3,200 SIPPs and had client assets totalling over £130m.

GPC SIPP Ltd went into administration as a result of some of the failed investments associated with its SIPPs, such as:

Claims Against Financial Advisers 

It’s these high-risk, unregulated investments, which were included in the GPC SIPP, that led to the FSCS paying out a reported £95m in compensation claims.

These claims were mainly made against Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) for giving unsuitable financial advice to their clients.

What is a mis-sold Guardian SIPP? 

Whilst SIPPs with high-risk investment can be a good thing for the right type of investor, they are not suitable for the average person.

Whether it’s just poor advice or negligent practice, if you were recommended to invest into a SIPP by a regulated Adviser and it wasn’t suitable to your needs or circumstances – that could be mis-selling.  If you have a mis-sold SIPP you may be eligible for compensation. 

Latest on GPC SIPP

Smith & Williamson are now the administrators of GPC and announced on their website that they had completed a sale of business with Hartley Pensions.  This sale is thought to involve the SIPPs and SSAS schemes held in their trustee company Guardian Pension Trustee Ltd. Hartley Pensions have already purchased the books of several failed SIPP providers.

Claims against Guardian / GPC

The FSCS has determined there are valid claims against GPC, providing there is proof that they failed in their due diligence. SIPP provider due diligence is a contentious issue right now. There are several court cases which may affect the outcome of decisions against SIPP providers.

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.

They kept me informed on the progress of my claim with regular updates and answered my queries with patience and professionalism. There percentage for on behalf was also lower than expected. I can't thank them enough

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.
