Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)
You could be investing a lot more efficiently for your retirement with a SIPP.
Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) explained
A SIPP offers you a number of valuable tax benefits that can help you make the most of your retirement savings. With a SIPP, you can also choose to transfer an existing pension into an account you manage. Tax rules relate to the account holder and can change over time. The value of tax savings and eligibility to invest in a SIPP will depend on personal circumstances.
Let’s say you’d like to invest £10,000, you’ll only need to pay in £8,000 as we claim £2,000 back basic tax relief through HMRC on your behalf and add that to your pension. Please note that you are only entitled to tax relief on contributions up to 100% of your earnings for a given tax year, capped at £40,000 for 2016/17. If you do not have any earnings you can still contribute £2,880 and receive tax relief of £720.

We also offer a range of funds below for you to consider based on selecting risk levels. This is not a recommendation or advice and is for you to consider if they fit your personal circumstances. If you are unsure of the suitability of an investment you should speak to an authorised financial adviser.

Consider a fund – based on a risk level you select
Once you have made your selection you will see three fund options to consider. They all carry the same level of risk, but have different charges and investment management styles. Risk is only one aspect of investing and you should also consider your savings goal and the time horizon you want to invest. Remember to review your investments regularly to ensure you're still on track.

Important Information
Fidelity Personal Investing does not give advice based on personal circumstances so you are responsible for deciding whether an investment is suitable for you. In doing so, please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance, the performance of funds is not guaranteed and the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. When investments have particular tax features, these will depend on your personal circumstances and tax rules may change in the future. Before investing into a fund, please read the relevant Key Investor Information Document (KIID) or the Fund Specific Information (FSI) and ‘Doing Business with Fidelity’, a document that incorporates our Client Terms. If you are investing via the Fidelity SIPP you should also read the Fidelity SIPP Key Features Document incorporating the Fidelity SIPP Terms and Conditions.
