SIPPS Suck

[ratewhore]

Another thing to bear in mind is that different SIPP providers may or may not allow different types of products within their SIPP. For example, some may not allow you to hold physical gold within the SIPP.

There are many variations on this theme. The more common, low cost SIPPs, offered by the likes of HL, BestInvest, SIPPDeal, Alliance Trust Savings etc.... are really aimed at those who want a wrapper to hold unit trusts, shares, bonds etc... If you want to hold commercial property and other rather more specialised investments then you need to look for the more expensive, rather more bespoke SIPP solutions. I'm guessing for most of us here, a low cost plain vanilla SIPP is all that is required.
