AJ Bell is a leading investment company based in Manchester. Over 160,000 clients have trusted it with the administration of more than £39 billion of assets since 1995.
AJ Bell offers self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) to help you grow your pension pot. If you already have a pension, you can easily transfer it to an AJ Bell SIPP, and AJ Bell might even help you pay towards the cost of the transfer.
What does AJ Bell do?
AJ Bell intends to make investing as easy as possible for its customers. It aims to stay competitive, use little jargon and put its customers’ best interests first.
AJ Bell offers ISAs and general investment accounts for standard investing, as well as self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) to help prepare for retirement.
With the AJ Bell SIPP you make your own investment decisions which determine how your pension performs, so it’s best for experienced investors rather than beginners.
What can I invest in with the AJ Bell SIPP?
AJ Bell’s SIPP give you access to a range of investments, including:
- Bonds
- Shares
- Funds
- Trusts
- Exchange traded funds (ETFs)
- Exchange traded commodities (ETCs)
AJ Bell Platinum SIPP
AJ Bell also offers a “platinum” SIPP service. The main difference between this and the Youinvest SIPP is that you can appoint any UK authorised investment manager to run the SIPP for you. Features of the AJ Bell Platinum SIPP include:
- Platinum SIPPs are established as a trust
- You can choose any UK authorised investment manager to run your SIPP
- Each Platinum SIPP has a dedicated administration team, and comes with access to AJ Bell’s consultants
- Your SIPP can invest in UK commercial property, which can then be leased out to your own business at a commercial rent, or to a third party
How much does AJ Bell cost?
As with most providers, the amount you pay depends on how much you invest.
