    I was looking at moving from Hargreaves Landsdowne - currently paying £650 per annum fees

    The IPSE Aegon pension has a charge of 0.23% (inclusive of administration and investment charges) but can't see how to compare this (e.g full SIPP value or certain funds)

    It looks like the Interactive Investor is just a flat fee of £19.99 per month so should give me a saving of circa £400

      That is correct. At II for the monthly £19.99 you also have the trading account and ISA account included. And you get one free trade credit per month worth £7.99. The trade credits can roll up for three months. I usually use mine each month though.

        My Vanguard fund arrived 2 weeks ago, and the S&P one yesterday.
        That's all funds, so just waiting for cash. Just over 3 months.

          If I have unused annual allowances from previous years contributions with HL, and I transfer to a new SIPP provider, I assume I can continue to make contributions for those previous years via the new provider?

          Do I just need to retain my HL account / SIPP scheme number (proving the date of opening etc)?

            If you max out the contributions to your SIPP for this year, you can carry forward unused contributions allowance for three previous years as long as you were in a pension scheme for those three years. You just need to keep good records in case you are asked by HMRC to justify what you did. There's no particular format for doing that. When I was using carry forward, I just kept notes of everything relevant on a spreadsheet so it was readily available.

              Comparing is difficult, due to the various fees that providers charge. Hargreaves are the most expensive.

              This spreadsheet is out of date now, but Halifax iweb are still a good platform and on the cheaper side.

              You could do worse than update this spreadsheet if the figures have changed:

                Sweeping generalisations can be highly misleading. Whilst I don't really advocate people using Hargreaves Lansdown, they can be highly cost effective. But to achieve that you must not invest in unit trusts or OIECs. Since the majority of people, including myself, wouldn't wish for the charges tail to wag the investment dog, then it makes sense to steer clear of HL as the retail investment platform of first choice.

                      do they need to sell a fund or can it transfer as the fund? It might take longer of they need to sell it
