6 months free - SIPP/Which

Important information: A SIPP is for those wanting to make their own investment decisions when saving for retirement. As investment values can go down as well as up, the amount you retire with could be worth less than you invested. Usually, you won’t be able to withdraw your money until age 55 (57 from 2028). Before transferring your pension, check if you’ll be charged any exit fees and make sure you don't lose any valuable benefits such as, guaranteed annuity rates, lower protected pension age or matching employer contributions. If you’re unsure about opening a SIPP or transferring your pension(s), please speak to an authorised financial adviser.

Things to consider before you transfer

Please check that you won’t lose any safeguarded benefits if you transfer. This could include guaranteed annuity rates or lower protected pension age than the Normal Minimum Pension Age (rising from 55 to 57 in 2028).

Please also check any transfer-out fees. Please note that if you plan to hold both drawdown and non-drawdown pots in your ii SIPP, you cannot allocate specific investments to each pot separately. This means that the value of each pot will change in line with the overall performance of all the investments held in your SIPP.

Before transferring, we recommend seeking advice from a suitably qualified financial advisor or free, impartial pension guidance from MoneyHelper or (if you are 50 or over) Pension Wise.

Case study quote

Combining your pensions into a SIPP can make admin easier, as you won’t have to deal with lots of different providers from former workplace schemes. Plus, a SIPP offers a wide choice of investments, if you want more control over where your money is invested than you typically have with traditional pensions.

Our low, flat fees can also add up to a lot of savings in the long run. However, it’s important that you check whether you would lose any safeguarded benefits or pay any additional fees before moving your pension, as well as the level of your current monthly fees.
