SJ Richfield t/as Sovereign Financial Services, UCIS investments and SIPPs

UCIS investments can be a problem if you’re not suitable for them. Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes are NOT under the jurisdiction of the FCA, meaning that investors don’t get any help from the Ombudsman or FSCS when they go wrong.

Both Carbon Credits Schemes and Land Banks like the Cadnam Plot are classic examples of high-risk investments that could (and often do) destroy people’s pensions, and both of these investments are known to have been on the books for some J Richfield t/as Sovereign Financial Services clients.

If you invested, you may still be able to begin the mis-sold pension claims process.

Why Land Banks and Carbon Credits?

We may never know why Sovereign gave unsuitable advice to their clients to invest in High-Risk investment schemes like Land Banks and Carbon Credits.

We do know that other advisers that have done the same may have benefited from high-end commissions: kick backs from the investment companies to funnel business their way, but as for Sovereign, we simply don’t know.

Either way, the advice was unsuitable, and if you did the same, you may be able to make a claim.
