How do I transfer my pension to an HL SIPP?

The fastest way to transfer is online. It is also possible to transfer by sending us a form in the post.

How it works

  1. Apply to transfer and we'll contact your provider for you.
  2. Once your transfer has started, we'll update you on progress and tell you when everything arrives.
  3. You can start investing when you’re ready.

What to check before you transfer

It's important to make sure you won't lose any valuable guarantees or benefits from your current pension, or have to pay excessive exit fees, before you transfer.

We’ll transfer your pension as cash (unless you request otherwise), which means it won’t be affected by stock market rises or falls while it’s being moved over.
