Important information: The ii SIPP is for people who want to make their own decisions when investing for retirement. As investment values can go down as well as up, you may end up with a retirement fund that’s worth less than what you invested. Usually, you won’t be able to withdraw your money until age 55 (57 from 2028). If you’re unsure if a SIPP is right for you, please speak to an authorised financial adviser. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Are you in the dark about your pension charges?

According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), almost a third of UK adults paying into a Defined Contribution pension don’t know how much they’re being charged. 55% of people don’t even realise they have charges.

You could be paying more than you need to. But it’s never too late to check your pension charges and see if another option – like a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) - could be right for you.

You might be surprised just how much lower your fees could be. And the more you save today, the more your pension can compound and grow.

Check before you transfer​​ - Please check that you won’t lose any safeguarded benefits if you transfer. This could include guaranteed annuity rates or a lower protected pension age than the Normal Minimum Pension Age (rising from 55 to 57 in 2028). It’s also worth checking for any transfer-out charges.​

It’s important to take your time before transferring your pension. Make sure to consider what the best option is for you. Don’t transfer just to qualify for the offer, and don't rush any decision to meet the offer deadline. We periodically run offers, and there will likely be other opportunities in the future.
