Actor loses $400,000 super in Wickham Securities collapse

Wonderland star Peter Phelps says he has lost more than $400,000 in superannuation following the collapse of Wickham Securities.

Brisbane-based Wickham collapsed in December 2012, owing millions to investors.

He claims 35 years’ worth of superannuation was “stolen” by former financial adviser Brad Sherwin.

“Superannuation stolen by bankrupt ‘financial adviser’ Brad Sherwin,” Phelps wrote on Facebook yesterday.

“Was property investing super … [and] the c— frauds us.

“Kids future. Farm. Gone.”

Fairfax reports more than 300 self-funded retirees lost up to $27 million after investing with Mr Sherwin’s company Wickham Securities – a mortgage finance lender providing funds for borrowers buying or refinancing commercial property.

He ran Wickham Securities with his brother-in-law Peter Siemons.

Earlier this month, the former chief executive of Wickham Securities, Garth Robertson, was charged with fraud. He is due to face court at a later date.
