In its response to the pension scams consultation, the Association of Member-Directed Pension Schemes (AMPS) has rejected a call to outlaw SSAS schemes and says it is “stunned” the idea has been proposed.

An executive director at The Pensions Regulator has called for pension transfers to SSAS to be banned.

James Hay has revealed it is banning a long list of Non-Standard Investments for new customers.

The industry body representing Sipp and SSAS providers has handed out a trio of Honorary Lifetime Memberships.
