What is a SIPP?
A self invested personal pension (SIPP) is a vehicle that lets you save for your retirement in a tax-efficient way. It is a personal pension wrapper that can hold a wide range of permitted assets both directly and through collectives. It offers you a higher level of flexibility and control over investment choices, which is useful if you use it. Should you only want a more limited investment choice, you may be able to access this more cost-effectively without the SIPP wrapper cost.
What can a SIPP invest in?
A principal feature of the Dentons SIPP is the freedom of the client to choose their investments from a wide selection, unlike a personal pension where you can usually only invest in a range of funds offered by an insurance company.
With a SIPP, you will be able to take direct control over your investment strategy, which allows you to invest directly in a range of assets such as stocks and shares, commercial property, unlisted shares, collective funds and bank/building society deposit accounts.
