BASIC INFORMATION: A SIPP
A Sipp is a means by which you can gain greater control over the investment of your pension money which, typically, might have previously been invested in insurance companies’ pension funds. All too often these funds under-performed.
Sipps offer far greater flexibility than ordinary personal pensions due to the range of investment options which are available. These include;
Stocks and shares
Unit trusts
Investments trusts
Managed funds, and
Property.
This far the option to invest in property has been restricted to commercial property but, with effect from 6th April 2006 , it will be extended to residential property which will prove attractive to many potential investors.
