GPC Premier SSAS
History of GPC Premier SSAS
GPC Premier SSAS Limited has been a provider in the Small Self-Administered Scheme (‘SSAS’) market for over 25 years. Established as a bespoke SSAS provider, the company has built a strong reputation for its client-first approach, combining personalised service with deep technical expertise. Over the years, we have supported thousands of clients in structuring tailored retirement solutions, always with a focus on flexibility, tax efficiency, and robust trustee governance.
In 2022, GPC Premier SSAS became part of STM Group Plc, a multi-jurisdictional financial services organisation specialising in retirement, wealth structuring, and succession planning.
Following the Group’s acquisition by Jambo SRC Limited in 2024, GPC Premier SSAS now operates under the Global Pension Corporation, a name that reflects our long-standing commitment to quality, integrity, and customer outcomes.
Working with UK financial advisers
GPC Premier SSAS is a non-advisory business. Our products are distributed via UK-regulated financial advisers and are generally not available for direct purchase by customers.
We work collaboratively with advisers to support their clients in building and managing their SSAS arrangements. This includes full transparency around product design, fees, and service levels. By aligning our service with the adviser’s role, we ensure clients receive bespoke solutions that reflect their financial ambitions and long-term goals. Our team provides advisers with direct access to our technical specialists and administration managers, ensuring consistent support throughout the pension lifecycle.
Our unique advantage
Our SSAS offering stands out due to our breadth of investment access, the depth of in-house expertise, and the strength of our service culture. As a specialist in complex SSAS transactions, we offer:
- Whole-of-market investment access, including commercial property, employer loans, and standard third-party investment accounts
- Dedicated property specialists and a skilled technical team for complex or time-sensitive investments.
- Comprehensive administration support, with a focus on timely execution and high-quality service.
- Strong governance and compliance, with the independent trustee and administration boards meeting at least quarterly.
We are supported by the financial strength and scale of the Global Pension Corporation. This allows us to offer the agility of a niche provider with the backing of a global financial services organisation.
Why the UK?
The GPC Premier SSAS is specifically designed for UK-based small to medium sized businesses and their directors or senior staff. It is ideally suited to:
- Owner-managed or family-run businesses looking for flexible, tax-efficient pension solutions.
- Employers wishing to contribute to a pension plan on behalf of directors or key employees.
- Individuals seeking greater control and diversity in their pension investments.
Our SSAS is established under UK trust law and is registered with HMRC. It is open to UK residents aged 18 to 75 and allows consolidation of existing pension pots, tailored contributions, and inheritance planning through tax-advantaged structures.
