Important information - This isn’t personal advice. If you’re unsure what’s best for your situation, please seek advice. SIPP investors need to be happy to make their own investment decisions and understand that all investments can rise and fall in value so although gains are possible, you could also get back less than you invest. Pensions are designed to help fund retirement and later life, so money can’t usually be taken out again until at least 55 (rising to 57 in 2028). Pension and tax rules can change, and their benefits depend on your circumstances. Before transferring check for loss of benefits and excessive exit fees.

What is a SIPP?

A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a type of account that allows you to take charge of your retirement savings. You have the freedom to invest exactly where you want to and control how much money goes in and when.

You have all the same tax advantages as a traditional pension, and the government will still give you a boost of up to 45% (or 48% if you're a Scottish rate tax payer) on top of anything you pay in as tax relief.

You can even use a SIPP to combine all your old pensions into one easy-to-use online account. And take money out from age 55 (rising to 57 from 2028).

Remember, pension and tax rules can change and any benefits will depend on your circumstances. Investments can rise and fall in value, so you could get back less than you pay in.
