The leading independent SSAS provider and Sipp operator has published its service turnaround times for the Rowanmoor Pensions product range since 2011 as part of a commitment it made on administration services and transparency for clients and advisers.
The company said that continuous investment into its due diligence processes has reduced the turnaround time for Rowanmoor Pensions SSAS and Family Pension Trust investment approvals to five days, bringing them in line with the Rowanmoor Pensions Sipp.

It aims to complete no less than 95% of its pension scheme administration within these timescales.
Ian Hammond, managing director of Rowanmoor Group, said: "As a provider of bespoke pension schemes, operating at the top end of the Sipp and SSAS markets, we have made significant investment in our due diligence processes for non-standard investments in recent years.
"This due diligence is a crucial part of our administration and operating processes, and our ongoing focus on these processes has enabled the team to halve the turnaround time for SSAS and Family Pensions Trust investment approvals.
"This is a testament to our commitment to provide the very best in customer service."
