Proposed restrictions in SIPP investments

CITY TRUSTEES : Disagrees with proposed restrictions in SIPP investment freedom
 

There is a call for a permitted investment list for SIPPs and City Trustees, part of Mattioli Woods plc, disagrees. City Trustees takes the view that additional and ongoing due diligence is required for non-standard assets, but that such investment flexibility is fundamental to the very idea of a SIPP.

Ed Carey, Managing Director, commented:
 
“Many SIPP providers are refusing to consider accepting non-standard investments in a pension scheme. This flies in the face of one of the key attractions of a SIPP; its ability to hold a wide range of investments.”
