Clarification on the regulatory position of unregulated introducers
Between 2010 and 2014, two unregulated pension introducers, Avacade Limited (in liquidation) and Alexandra Associates (UK) Limited, and their directors, contacted retail customers and promoted self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs).
