What happened in Swansea
Swansea sits within the wider South Wales pension transfer cluster that became the focus of extensive FCA regulatory action following the BSPS scandal. Active Wealth (UK) Ltd and Celtic Wealth Management both operated in the Swansea area and referred clients into pension transfers during 2015–2018.
Active Wealth has since entered liquidation — Route 3 FSCS applies. Celtic Wealth operated as an unregulated introducer, so the complaint route runs via the regulated firm that received the referral.
Beyond BSPS, Swansea also has a broader pool of industrial DB transfer cases from the same period.
Who this affects
Former BSPS members and other DB pension holders in the Swansea area who were advised on pension transfers between approximately 2012 and 2020 and have not previously complained.
