What is a Self Invested Pension (SIPP)
Making a Mis sold pension claim
A self invested pension plan (SIPP) is a type of pension that gives you more control over how your retirement income is invested. With a SIPP, you can choose from a wide range of investments, including stocks and shares, bonds, property and cash.
Most SIPPs are set up as trusts. This means that the trust is responsible for looking after the investments and paying out the income when you retire.

Self invested pension plans can be high-risk investments. This is because the value of your investment can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the full amount you invested.
Before you invest in a SIPP, you should make sure you understand the risks involved and get advice from a suitably qualified financial adviser.
