Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs)
A SIPP can offer a fantastic level of flexibility and control over your investment choices through to retirement
A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) offers a great level of flexibility and control over your investment choices, making it particularly attractive as a retirement vehicle.
We are committed to providing an excellent personal service, which is delivered through a dedicated point of contact. As of 1 November 2022, we administer more than 61,000 SIPPs, totalling £13.43 billion in assets under administration (AUA) including over 1,300 commercial properties. We have accumulated significant experience in providing white-label SIPPs and third-party administration. These are built on principles of quality, alignment and efficiency and have contributed significantly to our growth.
Our Flexible SIPP is a ‘lite’ SIPP and bespoke SIPP in one to give you the best of both worlds. We also offer third-party administration and white label (co-branded) SIPP arrangements to suitable business partners.

We’re providing this information to help you understand if you might be affected by these changes. It’s based on our current understanding of draft legislation and of guidance published by HMRC. Changes may still be made before 6 April.
