Asset acceptance

Dentons SIPP and SSAS products are designed to provide clients with comprehensive investment flexibility from an extensive range of asset classes. We will consider any investment however, because of HMRC rules, there are some investments that we do not allow.

We would advise that clients seek financial advice before making any investment decisions. Although Dentons will not provide advice on the suitability of investments, we reserve the right to refuse to hold any proposed investment within your scheme.

Dentons’ senior management has an Investment Committee as a way of assessing, monitoring, and controlling sophisticated and unregulated investments. The Committee conducts an internal investigation to carry out due diligence and provide detailed investment reports. 　

This due diligence forms the basis of Dentons’ decision-making process for accepting or declining certain investments that can be held within Dentons SIPPs or SSASs. Should a proposed investment be judged to be unsuitable, we will always endeavour to give advisers and clients an explanation.

The Committee includes members of senior management, compliance and technical. It meets weekly and continually reviews its practices considering increasingly sophisticated investments and regulatory good practice.
