With over 10,000 clients and assets cited in proceedings in excess of £2.37 billion, Brite represents one of the single largest unresolved claim populations in the UK expat pension mis-selling market.
Many Brite clients were British nationals living in the UAE, Asia Pacific, or other international markets who were advised to transfer UK defined benefit pensions into SIPP arrangements to access higher-return investment structures. These transfers frequently involved high-cost offshore bond wrappers and non-standard assets that imposed substantial ongoing charges while delivering poor or negative returns.
