All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
Best SIPP providers
Find the best self-invested personal pension for your pension pot.
There’s no defined “best SIPP” – it completely depends on what you’re looking for and the size of your pension pot. Take a look at some of the ones listed below to see if you can find one to suit you.
How do I compare SIPPs?
The main factor that distinguishes SIPPs from one another is pretty much only the cost. To save you from reading exactly the same thing over and over again, we’ve summed up what SIPPs offer to start with. If there are any additional features with any providers, we’ll let you know.
What all of these SIPPs offer:
- You are in charge of what you invest in.
- Get access to a wider range of investment products, including property.
- You can contribute up to 100% of your pre-tax earnings, up to £60,000 per year, in the 2020/2021 tax year.
- If you don’t work, you can contribute up to £3,600 per tax year.
- You can start withdrawing from your pension from the age of 55.
What most of these providers offer:
- Most providers will have mobile apps to manage your SIPPs on the go.
- You can often transfer your pensions to another provider or consolidate several pensions into one.
