On February 16, 2023, the FCA launched a new webpage encouraging pension schemes and trustees to report to the FCA if, having carried out checks, they have serious concerns about a pension transfer.

The FCA wants to know about the following:
  • Individuals who provide unauthorised advice on pension transfers.
  • Increases in the volume of transfers advised by the same adviser.
  • If a member requested a transfer following a cold call or unsolicited contact, or a member has been offered an incentive to make a transfer.
  • If a scheme has high risk or unregulated investments, its charges are unclear or high, or its investment structure is unclear, complex or unorthodox.
  • Potential scam activity.

The webpage also details issues for trustees to consider where a member may have received unauthorised advice. Once trustees have identified their concerns, the FCA sets out the information which should be provided and the reporting process.
