  • The HL SIPP is a type of pension for people who want to choose their own investments without advice. Our website doesn’t give personal advice. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please ask us for advice.
  • Investments should be made for the long term. They can go up and down in value so you could get back less than you put in. The income your investments pay may change over time.
  • Once your money is in a pension, you can’t usually take it out until you’re 55. Or 57 from 2028. Up to 25% is usually tax free and the rest is taxed as income.
  • Tax rules can change and the tax relief you get is based on your circumstances.
  • If you’re transferring a pension, check you won’t lose any benefits or have to pay excessive leaving fees.

Please read the HL SIPP declaration, Terms & Conditions (including tariff of charges), Important Investment Notes and the SIPP Key Features (including the transfer and contribution checklists and common transfer declaration) carefully. By applying for our services you agree to be bound by our terms so it is important you understand these documents; please contact us if you have any queries.

I confirm I am applying to join the HL SIPP. I agree to be bound by the Scheme Rules, and acknowledge that these have been made available to me by Hargreaves Lansdown.

I confirm that I will be a relevant UK individual in any tax year in which personal contributions are paid.

I declare that the total contributions that I will make to the HL SIPP and any other Registered Pension Scheme where I am entitled to relief under Section 188 of the Finance Act 2004 will not exceed the higher of:

  1. The basic amount (currently £3,600) or
  2. 100% of my Relevant UK Earnings (within the meaning of section 189 of the Finance Act 2004) for that tax year.

This declaration and the particulars given in this application are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, correct and complete.

If an event occurs which means that I will no longer be entitled to relief under to Section 188 of the Finance Act 2004, I will inform Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management by 5th April of the tax year in which the event occurs or 30 days after the event if later.

If I make a contribution, of which part or all is not eligible for tax relief, I will notify you separately on or before the date of the contribution. I will advise Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management Ltd, in writing, within 30 days if I cease to be a United Kingdom resident.

I have not received advice from Hargreaves Lansdown regarding the merits of entering into, or the suitability of any aspect of the HL SIPP unless that aspect has been covered under a separate agreement for individual advice from a Hargreaves Lansdown Financial Adviser. If I have any doubts I will seek personal advice, in particular regarding the merits of the various pension options I may have available to me now and in the future.

I allow Hargreaves Lansdown to process my application using the information provided. This declaration and any other declaration made by me in connection with this application shall be the basis of the contract between me and Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management Ltd.

I confirm I have not registered with HM Revenue and Customs to protect pension funds built up from a potential Lifetime Allowance tax charge.

Frequently asked questions


  • Before you withdraw money by electronic transfer you need to set up a Nominated Bank Account. This can be done online via our secure website, or in writing. For security purposes you will need to validate an addition or change of your Nominated Bank Account. When you add or change a Nominated Bank Account we will post a validation code to the account holder at their registered address. You then simply log in to your online account and enter the code to confirm the changes.

    Online withdrawals (from the ISA and Fund and Share Account): To withdraw money to your Nominated Bank Account simply log in, select the account you would like to withdraw from, go to the "Cash" section and choose "Withdraw money" from the quick links box. Payment will be made by Faster Payment and there is no charge for this service. The maximum you can request to withdraw online each day is £99,999 per product.

    Telephone: Once you have set up your Nominated Bank Account please call us on 0117 980 9950 with your security details to withdraw money from your account.

  • If you are an existing client

    The quickest and easiest way to add money to your account is online with a debit card. In order to add money:

    • Log in, and your account (e.g. Stocks and Shares ISA) will be listed on the first page you come to.

    Please note: If you are adding money to an ISA for the first time in this tax year, the payment will be referred to as an ‘opening subscription’. This money will, however, be added to your existing ISA.

    Alternatively, you can add money over the telephone with a debit card, or use an application form and cheque.

    Please ensure you have read our Key Features

    If you are not yet a client

    If you are not yet a client you can open an account and add money with your debit card as part of the application process.

    Before opening an account, please understand the risks and Terms and Conditions (including tariff of charges) of your investment and ensure you have read our Key Features.


  • The type of unit you hold determines how any income generated from the fund's underlying investments is treated.

    With income units, income is paid out to fund holders as cash. This could provide the investor with an income stream or the cash could be reinvested to buy additional units.

    With accumulation units, income is retained within the fund and reinvested, increasing the price of the units. Generally, for investors who wish to reinvest income, accumulation units offer a more convenient and cost-effective way of doing so.


  • There is no charge for simply having an HL Account open. Charges are levied on the investment that you choose to hold within your HL Account.

    Find out more about our charges


  • Charges will be calculated based on the value of your chargeable holdings on the last day of the month and collected in the following month.
