So what does it all cost?

Our charges are explicit and are set at a level to reflect the amount of work involved. Everyone pays their fair share of the administration costs and you will see that the charges can become cost effective at a very low threshold of contribution input or fund size.

There are many different types of SIPPs in the market place which differ as to investment flexibility and also charging structure. If you, as many of you will, shop around for the best value, we recommend that you check out our "questions to ask".
