After having been found to have mis-sold many SIPP pensions, Solihull based financial advisers Cherish Wealth Management Limited no-longer themselves as providing “effective financial advice which clearly reviews, discusses and ultimately meets each individual or organisation’s specific financial requirements”.
In fact, they don’t describe themselves as anything at all, having closed down and gone into liquidation in 2016, leaving their legacy behind them.

When financial advisers mis-sell SIPP pensions and investments to their clients, they may be forced to pay compensation through mis-sold pension claims.
Whether they have enough money to pay all the compensation is a different matter. Depending on what level of professional indemnity insurance they have, and how much they’ve got in the bank, a single claim can sometimes bring down a company because of the damage it can do to that single client’s retirement fund.
In the case of Cherish Wealth Management, it quickly went into insolvency proceedings and into a liquidation: this is where an external team of professionals are brought in to break up the company, and potentially sell its assets to pay back creditors (such as claimaints!).
When a company cannot pay claims and goes into liquidation as Cherish Wealth Management did in 2016, the FSCS may step in to pay claims on the company’s behalf – a safety net to make sure those who have been mis-sold get the compensation they deserve.
If you switched or transferred your pension with Cherish Wealth Management, or took investment advice from them, you may be able to make a claim.
