SIPP: Self-Invested Personal Pension
Our SIPP is a personal pension that gives you choice and flexibility. It's easy to get started.
Please remember, SIPPs are aimed at people happy to make their own investment decisions. Investment value can go up or down and you could get back less than you invest. You can normally only access the money from age 55 (57 from 2028). We recommend seeking advice from a suitably qualified financial advisor before making any decisions. Pension and tax rules depend on your circumstances and may change in future.
What is a SIPP?
A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) gives you the freedom to choose your investments.
Some people use a SIPP to combine old pensions into one. This can make it easier to keep track of your retirement savings.
By adding a SIPP to the investment accounts you already hold with us , you can keep track of everything in one place. Plus, you can transfer your old pensions to make things even easier.
Benefits of our pension (SIPP)
- Control - you can choose where your pension is invested, keep track of your pot, and make changes whenever you want.
- Convenience - if you transfer your other pensions to our SIPP, you'll be able to see everything in one place, and pay just one monthly fee. Learn more
