SIPP

Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)

A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) gives you more control and flexibility when saving for retirement. Open to UK residents under age 75, a SIPP allows you to choose from a wide range of investments and manage them as you see fit — all while enjoying generous tax benefits.

What is a SIPP?

A SIPP works much like a standard personal pension — but with far greater control over how your savings are invested. You can select from a broad array of investment options, including shares, funds, bonds, and ETFs, enabling you to build a retirement portfolio tailored to your goals.

Whether you’re starting fresh or transferring an existing pension, a SIPP gives you the flexibility to invest with confidence. Contributions benefit from tax relief, and your investments grow free from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

Pension and tax rules may change and depend on personal circumstances.

How Does a SIPP Work?

SIPPs are one of the most tax-efficient and flexible ways to plan for retirement:

  • Contribute up to £40,000 annually and receive up to 45% tax relief

  • Choose and manage your own investments — or seek professional guidance

  • Track and adjust your portfolio as needed

  • Normally, funds are accessible from age 55 (rising to 57 from 2028)

Unlike many traditional pensions, SIPPs offer full transparency and control. You decide where your money goes, and you’re free to make changes or top-ups whenever you like.
