SIPP AND SSAS ISSUES

Our consultants have massive in-depth and current experience and knowledge of evolving regulation and compliance issues facing SIPP and SSAS firms.

SIPPs and SASSs are at the heart of wealth management. By definition these are platforms rather than well-defined packaged products and simple application of regulatory rules is not straightforward. Acceptable practice is constantly being redefined by the discretionary actions of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the Courts - see our Insights page for updates and interpretation on case law as it develops.

Our people have had in-depth experience of consulting at a senior level in these areas, and can help navigate through complex issues in a clear, pragmatic, and robust way. Getting on the front foot early is far more cost-effective than being unprepared and having to cope with the crippling costs of remedial action.
