The FCA has issued two unambiguously titled pension alerts that are essential reading for advisers that provide advice on pension transfers.
We will not summarise the documents here as they are concise, self-explanatory and very relevant. Follow the links below to read the alerts.
‘Advising on pension transfers – our expectations’ is aimed directly at advisory firms.
‘Pension scheme operators are at risk from smarter scams’ will also be of interest to advisers.
Important Note: ATEB news is intended to provide general information ONLY. The content, including any views expressed or guidance provided, does not replace the need to comply fully with FCA Rules and Guidance. Unless you have discussed news article content with ATEB, and specifically how it relates to your circumstances, then ATEB disclaims all liability and responsibility and actions arising from any reliance placed upon it. For the avoidance of doubt therefore, any reliance you place on such information without our consultation is at your own risk.
ATEB Compliance offers compliance and regulatory advice.
ATEB Suitability provides report writing software for the financial services market.
These alerts are essential reading for every firm and adviser involved with Pension Transfer advice.
We’ve been pointed towards some useful training links.
We have recently attended a seminar where the FCA Authorisations department estimated that they will receive around 51,000 applications, although they suggest that only 39,000 actually require a licence.
