Customer Reviews

Pantheon QROPS is a Personal Pension Scheme approved by the Commissioner of Income Tax in Gibraltar, and approved by HMRC as eligible to receive transfer of UK pension rights without attracting a tax.

The Scheme was established by a Deed of Trust dated 4th April 2013, amended 4th February 2015.

Pantheon claims to divulge full costing on the application form, we cannot find a way to access the application form therefore we cannot verify this.

No details of any commission are detailed.

It is impossible to do any research into Pantheon online, which is hugely concerning and speaks of a lack of transparency.
