The Problem: Cannot Process The Business

Navigating the ever-changing maze of Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution pension transfers or consolidation can be a daunting experience for clients. Never mind, for any accountants, tax advisers and other professional service providers reading this.

Even for some of you highly qualified UK IFA's who are simply unable to facilitate some UK pension transfers due to your firm's compliance rules or FCA advice permissions.

The reason for this is the numerous regulatory shifts from the FCA to protect consumers, given the complexity that comes with UK residents and non-UK residents making decisions on what is possibly one of their largest assets. This is particularly true for Defined Benefit or Final Salary pensions, which have seen huge increases in regulation, PI insurance and compliance over the past decade, due to the repercussions of poor advice having been provided previously.

This can feel frustrating as you cannot help your client, and you also potentially leave yourself open to the risk of your client researching and finding another financial adviser down the line to whom you did not introduce. And we all know where that can end up, as adviser firms typically like to advise on, and have oversight over, all of their clients' assets.

The Solution: Cameron James 

Cameron James provides you with the ability to professionally refer your client to an expert adviser, who can either facilitate the advice directly, in the case of Defined Contribution Transfers, or help the client obtain FCA regulated Defined Benefit Advice from a 3rd party Pension Transfer Specialist, in the case of Defined Benefit Pensions.  You will be transparently remunerated for the introduction, should the client move forward with any advice, based on a % of the initial advice fees.

Your client will be aware that a percentage of their initial fee with us will be passed back to you for your work and efforts in making the introduction. We like to keep things very transparent.

By actively referring your client(s) to Cameron James, you also protect yourself from potentially  losing the client entirely to another adviser who can provide any services you cannot. For accountants etc, we will also ensure that you are involved in all financial planning decisions, allowing you to further enhance and build your relationship and value to your client.
