Eastbridge Investments Were Part of the Beaufort Securities DFM Portfolios
The Discretionary Fund Management firm Beaufort Securities invested at least one person’s pension money into Eastbridge Investments in 2015 as a part of the SIPP. An Ombudsman case determined that the person in question had a Low/Medium risk profile, and that the investments that Beaufort Securities selected for him were not suitable. The Ombudsman says that they believe there cannot be any real dispute that the investor wanted a low/medium investment strategy, and that the selected investments, in their opinion, did not meet that.
