It appears that if the platform you hold your investments on runs into
problems the Adminstrators can take out "ring fenced" client monies to
meet their costs.

A fuller explanation is in the thread at:

http://moneyforums.citywire.co.uk/yaf_postst5859_Protect-your-ISA-and-SIPP---sign-this-petition-now.aspx

The petition is at:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/222801

and needs 10,000 sigs.

Easily done if it is snowballed around your circle of contacts.

At 10,000 signatures the Government will respond with a standardised
reply stating that it is legal.

At 100,000 signatures there may be a _very_ slight chance something may
change.

I didn't realise that SIPPs were not protected like other pension schemes.

There is a clue.. Self Invested.
You decide what to invest in so you take responsibility.

The petition isn't trying to protect anyone from making their own bad
investment choices ...

But the grievance the petition is addressing is nothing to do with the soundness or otherwise of the
investments, but whether where firms running the trading platforms get into debt the administrators
are entitled to help themselves to the firm's clients' assets.

Where a garage business goes bust are the creditors be allowed to seize the garage's customers' cars
brought in for a service?
