Transfer a Child's Pension
Give your child a head start towards their retirement
Important information - Please remember the value of tax savings depends on individual circumstances and tax rules can change over time. Investments can go down in value as well as up, so your child could get back less than invested. A Junior SIPP is a type of pension for people happy to make their own investment decisions, and is not accessible until age 55 (57 from 2028), which is likely to rise by the time your child reaches retirement. If transferring a pension please ensure you will not lose valuable guarantees or incur excessive exit penalties. If you are unsure if an investment is right for you or your child please see advice.

Unsure where to invest?
There's no need to decide today – pensions are usually transferred as cash so you can make your mind up when the transfer completes.
