Douglas Baillie & The Pension Specialist Claims
We’ll have a specialist call you back for a no obligation chat about your financial claim
If you’ve taken financial advice from Douglas Baillie or their sister company The Pension Specialists, the bottom line is that they are No-longer authorised by the FCA, and it may be a good time to get your advice checked by a professional to make sure you haven’t been mis-sold, or if you have, to find out whether you can make a claim or not.
The FCA is pretty clear on the matter: “This is a firm that can no longer provide regulated products and services, but was previously authorised by the PRA and/or FCA”.

Mis-Sold SIPP Pensions & Claims
We know that Douglas Baillie suspended the operation of their pension switching business – The Pension Specialists operating from www.thepensionspecialists.co.uk – back in October 2013 following concerns raised by the Financial Conduct Authority.
In short, the FCA was concerned that the firm was not delving deep enough into the financial circumstances of it’s clients before making recommendations – a HUGE part of pension advice in order to ensure that the client is placed in suitable pension schemes and invests that are affordable and carry an appropriate level of risk for the client.
By May 2016, Douglas Baillie Limited had called for a meeting of the creditors, and just a couple of weeks later appointed liquidators to commence the winding up of the business and bring everything to a full stop.
