I have 2 pensions with these

I have 2 pensions with these, one set up by my company and the other that I opted out of SERPS with. I moved home a few years ago and didn’t get statements for both pensions for a few years, added to this took my eye off the ball with them. When I finally got statements, it turns out for the past 5 years in a row the pensions have made 0.25% a year every year ! I therefore complained as the returns were unbelievable, I was told that my funds had been invested in CREST. I just wonder how many other victims they have. To put this into context, I had £50k nearly invested and over 5 years they have made me £500 whilst taking over £5k in charges for their expertise in investing!! So over a 5 year period they have made 1.25% whilst the FTSE has increased by nearly 50%. This is not a company to trust with your money!
I have today transferred this account, unfortunately though I have another account with £50k in, with exactly the same story, this account can’t be transferred though! How convenient!! BTW Royal London,I could have made 15% in a building society account over 5 years! Disgraceful!

Great but not great

It was great because of Alison , other wise , the getting through to Alison was near on impossible ..also Alison sent me information but I couldn’t send it on because of security . So no point getting the info , Alison had kindly organised a proper document for pension moneys I’ve paid in . I am somewhat hoping I can send it onto Hmrc ? ..please confirm I can do this regards Dean Braik
