Be your own fund manager. Take control of your own pension fund with a SIPP.

A self invested personal pension (SIPP) is a sub-category of personal pensions in that they are approved by the Inland Revenue and benefit from income tax relief, but they are much more flexible in terms of what assets and investments may be held. At present it is possible to invest in the following assets through a SIPP –

• Equities (either directly or via funds)
• Bonds (government bonds and corporate bonds)
• Land and property (within strict criteria)
• Hedge funds
• Other ‘alternative’ investments

Often the main requirement of someone wanting to set up a SIPP is the investment flexibility and freedom to pursue a particular preference or interest, such as investment in overseas development projects. Many City Trading Post clients invest in such projects via their SIPPs.

Of course, the ultimate aim of any pension fund, including a SIPP, is to target retirement objectives. However, many investors choose to use a SIPP to facilitate the more exotic and sometimes higher risk elements of their overall plan. Contact us now for more information or a consultation.
