Gravity Child Care Investment Claims Guide
We’ll have a specialist call you back for a no obligation chat about your financial claim
Gravity Child Care investments were advertised as giving their SIPP investors anywhere between 11% and 21% annual returns depending on how they invested.
But now, Gravity Child Care Investments & GCC Management Ltd are in liquidation, generating headlines where the 230+ investors “lose £11m”.
If you made a Gravity Child Care investment through a SIPP, but weren’t:
- A Sophisticated Investor with plenty of investment experience
- A high-net worth individual earning over £100k per year
- Aware that Gravity Child Care investments were high-risk
Then you may have been mis-sold your GCC management Ltd investment, and may be able to make a claim!

Gravity Child Care In Liquidation
Liquidation is a form of insolvency proceeding where trained and qualified external people are appointed to take over the company, and (amongst other duties) break it up in a way that the company’s creditors get some or all of their money.
Gravity Child Care (or GCC Management Ltd as it is now called) went into voluntary liquidation in November 2017.
According to the last updates from the liquidators:
“[…] the Company was due the sum of £2.85 million from Primus in respect of investment made into Primus prior to the liquidation.”
“Primus is a connected entity to the Company by way of common Directorships with both the Director and Former Director. Due to its inability to repay investors, AF was also engaged to advise Primus on its options. It was also concluded by the Director and AF that Liquidation was the most appropriate course of action for Primus”.
“As such, the Joint Liquidators understand there is no prospect of realising any monies from Primus”.
