What Happened

Greyfriars Asset Management was a SIPP operator and investment manager that directed client pension funds into its own in-house investments — most notably the illiquid 'Portfolio Six' — via unregulated introducer networks. Unlike most SIPP failures where the operator and the investment promoter were separate parties, Greyfriars was both the SIPP operator and the manager of the failing investments, creating a serious conflict of interest that went unchecked.

Clients were introduced to Greyfriars by unregulated broker firms and placed into 'Portfolio Six', which proved to be illiquid and subsequently worthless. The FSCS declared Greyfriars in default and is processing claims from eligible claimants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was Portfolio Six?

Portfolio Six was an in-house investment fund managed by Greyfriars Asset Management. Client SIPP funds were directed into Portfolio Six via unregulated introducer networks. The fund proved illiquid and eventually worthless. Greyfriars' dual role as operator and investment manager created a conflict of interest that the FOS found was not adequately managed.

Can I claim if Greyfriars managed my investment directly?

Yes. Greyfriars' role as both SIPP operator and investment manager makes it directly liable for the failure to protect client funds. This case does not depend on a third-party adviser — the regulatory failure sits with Greyfriars itself.
