Hartley Pensions Limited (Hartley Pensions), is a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) operator authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It also provides administration for a small number of Small Self-Administered Schemes (SSAS), regulated by the Pensions Regulator.
February 2024 update:
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has confirmed that its finalised an agreement to fund the costs of the exit and administration charge (EAC) that the Joint Administrators had proposed to levy on Hartley Pensions customers.
This means customers will not need to fund the EAC or make an application to FSCS for any money. It will be paid directly to the administrators to cover costs. See the FSCS website for more information.
What will happen next?
In due course, we understand that the Joint Administrators will be issuing communications to SIPP members setting out their proposed strategy and timelines for distributing and / or transferring client assets.
See the Joint Administrators website for more information.
On 29 July 2022 the directors of Hartley Pensions placed it into administration at the request of the FCA, and appointed Peter Kubik and Brian Johnson of UHY Hacker Young LLP as joint administrators.
