The Scope Rules permit solicitors to make arrangements for a client to buy retail investment products, including rights in a personal pension plan, on an execution-only basis. This means the solicitor can facilitate the purchase without providing advice. However, this does not apply to making arrangements in connection with a pension transfer or pension opt-out. Selling rights in a personal pension scheme is generally prohibited unless it is done under specific circumstances that do not apply here.
Key Point: This question evaluates understanding of the SRA Financial Services (Scope) Rules 2001 regarding the permitted activities for solicitors in relation to personal pension schemes and retail investment products.
