Rowanmoor temporarily waives SSAS set up fees
Rowanmoor says it has made the new offer following its success at the Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts Awards 2017, where it won Best SSAS Provider for a tenth year in a row.
Mark Hopcroft, managing director, group distribution and parent company Embark Group, said: “Rowanmoor is recognised by the advisory community as being a market leader for SSAS administration. Our focus is on helping advisers remove some of the challenges placed upon them by increased regulation and substandard service and we are delighted that the industry has recognised the value we add in helping manage complex schemes.
“To celebrate our success, we are thrilled to further help advisers by reducing client costs with the removal of the initial fee, and we would hope to encourage many more potential clients and advisers to benefit from the service we have and how we put this in to practice for their benefit.”
The offer is available between 1 October 2017 and 31 March 2018. When moving an existing SSAS to Rowanmoor, assets, such as commercial property, can be transferred across in specie, which preserves the current scheme value. There are also options to reduce the cost of legal fees when transferring in.
