Advantages of a SIPP?

  • Helps you save tax efficiently for your retirement.
  • Gives you freedom to choose where you want to invest your money and spreads your risk.
  • Provides income in the form of lump sums and/or regular income.
  • Reduces inheritance tax so you can pass on more of your money.
  • Flexibility in retirement. From 55 (57 from 2028) you have the freedom to access your money in the way that suits you.

Self-employed?

  • If you work for yourself then you’re in charge of your own retirement pot, so it’s even more important to pay into your own pension.
  • Building up your pension savings is a challenge in the current climate but a SIPP could help.
  • You’ve made a choice in life to be more independent. Adding money to a pension can help make sure that continues, whenever you decide to stop working.
