SIPPS Q&A
Published:  14 August, 2006

The questions

  1. Is there a problem or potential problem in that Sipps are not currently regulated and regulation will not come until April 2007?

  2. Do you anticipate that next year’s regulation will change the industry in any way (for example, consolidation, non-regulated providers unable to meet the regulation requirements)?

  3. How will personal pension regulation affect consumers? Will it boost personal pensions’ popularity as consumers feel they can trust the industry and the products more?

  4. Wat are the implications of regulation on advisers (for example, if the recommended firm is unable to meet the regulation, charges to cover costs of operating the Sipp post regulation)?

The Money Advice Service is an elegant and innovative way of providing consumers with much needed help to access financial services products.

  • Absolutely. Should have happened years ago.
  • It's a start. Let's hope it's a solid foundation.
  • Not sure either way.
  • It's not advice, but you only find that out in the small print, which nobody reads.
  • Are you having a laugh? It's another way for the regulator to raise a fighting fund to paper over the cracks in its regulatory armoury.
