New faster transfers: Find out how to speed up your pension transferUnsure where to invest? The Vantage SIPP lets you choose your own investments but there's no need to choose today - we will transfer your pension as cash so you can decide when the transfer completes. This means it will be unaffected by stock market rises or falls during this period.
A SIPP is a type of pension for people comfortable making their own investment decisions about their retirement. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get back less than you invest. The rules we refer to are those that currently apply; they could change in the future but you cannot normally access the money until at least age 55. Tax reliefs depend on your circumstances. This website is not personal advice, if you are unsure of an investment’s suitability you should seek advice.
Graham Houghton (54) from Somerset recently transferred a stakeholder pension, which contained protected rights, to the low cost Vantage SIPP.
I’ve held ISAs with Hargreaves Lansdown for several years, as do my wife and children. The level of service I’ve received and quality of administration prompted me to transfer my pension to the Vantage SIPP.
Holding everything under one roof saves valuable time and makes managing them much easier. It’s also a relief to receive paperwork from just one company. Switching my pension to the Vantage SIPP has given me more control over where it’s invested.
As I’m getting closer to retirement I wanted to diversify the investments in my pension, to help manage the risk. Investment choice was limited in my stakeholder pension and I felt the life-styling option was restrictive. The Vantage SIPP gives me much more choice, allowing me to hold a good spread of investments. I hold funds which invest in UK shares, emerging markets and corporate bonds. The Hargreaves Lansdown website is full of information to help me find the best investments.
Applying presented no problems and my transfer ran very smoothly. I’ve read how other investors are happy with the service from Hargreaves Lansdown, and it’s true - I’m more than happy with the way things are going and the underlying service has been great.
Switching to the Vantage SIPP has also helped me keep a closer eye on my pension. With my stakeholder I would typically just look at the statements that arrived in the post. Now I regularly view my SIPP online to see how the funds are performing.
