Self Invested Personal Pension
SIPP
What is a SIPP?
A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a UK pension that gives you greater control over how your retirement savings are invested. Unlike traditional workplace pensions, a SIPP allows you (or your adviser) to choose from a wide range of investments within a tax-efficient structure.
SIPPs are commonly used by:
-
International and expat clients
-
Individuals consolidating multiple pension pots
-
Those seeking flexibility and transparency
-
People who want more control over investment decisions
