The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has declared 15 failed regulated firms in default during February 2020 including SIPP firm GPC.
Law firm Shearman & Sterling has applied for a judicial review into the FSCS’s handling of compensation for victims of the £236m London Capital & Finance mini-bond firm.
Soaring SIPP claims have forced the Financial Services Compensation Scheme to increase its levy for 2020/21 by £87m to £635m.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme has warned that there is a ‘high risk’ of a supplementary £46m levy on advisers and providers in the coming due in part to rising pension and SIPP claims.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is now open to claims against Berkeley Burke SIPP Administration Limited (BBSAL).
