Xafinity SIPP and SSAS, part of Xafinity Punter Southall, has reported a surge in the number of investors turning to commercial property investments.   

Embark Group, the diverse financial group with a Financial Planning arm and £11 billion in client assets, has launched its own platform with the aim of ‘disrupting’ the current platform sector.

The acquisitive Embark Services Group, which has taken over platform and Sipp firms, reported pre-tax losses widening last year from £1.46m to £2.36m.

Momentum Pensions, the SIPP, SSAS and QROPS provider, is considering making strategic acquisitions of SIPP rivals as it builds up for further growth.
