Can I transfer my existing pension into the Vantage SIPP?
You can normally transfer the following types of pension into our Vantage SIPP without the need for advice:
- Personal and stakeholder pensions
- Retirement Annuity Contracts (RACs)
- Other SIPPs
- Most Additional Voluntary Contribution plans (AVCs) including Free Standing AVCs
- Executive Pension Plans (EPPs)
- Most paid-up occupational money purchase plans
- Protected rights pensions accrued from contracting out of the State Second Pension or SERPS
- Pensions in income drawdown
Before transferring, check you will not lose any valuable guarantees or benefits or incur excessive exit fees. Please also understand the risks and features of the Vantage SIPP, then simply download a transfer form from our website, return it to us FREEPOST, and we will do the rest of the transfer legwork for you.
The transfer usually takes 4-6 weeks to complete. Hargreaves Lansdown does not charge for transferring a pension into the Vantage SIPP.
Final salary schemes can also be transferred to the Vantage SIPP, however we would require you to take advice from a professional financial adviser. For further information, or if your pension type is not listed above, please call our helpdesk on 0117 980 9926.
