Re: Considering SIPP
I use Hargreaves Lansdown as well and am very happy with them. They would be expensive in this instance though as the OP wants to invest in a single Lifestrategy fund, for simplicity.

Some brokers allow their fees to be taken out of either the pension pot or a separate account, the latter can be viewed as getting more per year into pension protection.
The latter can also be viewed as more expensive because you are not getting the tax relief on those charges if they come from a separate (non pension) account.

Re: Considering SIPP
I flip/flop between paying charges from outside, and worrying about exceeding lifetime allowances, and paying from inside and worrying about inheritance tax. Small beer either way.

Which are those cheap SIPPS? I'm currently paying £180 a year for iWeb and I thought that was about the cheapest available
Thanks,

AJ Bell want a 0.25% (capped £25 per quarter) custody charge for shares, which I see is half what I pay H&L 0.45% capped at £200 a year.

On the Monevator table I looked at before choosing, the AJ Bell SIPP charge has a 'plus' next to it, which implies it's an additional 0.25% for the SIPP on top of the standard 0.25%, which is not capped (at least, they don't mention a cap).
On the AJ Bell Youinvest website it has a Funds Custody Charge (0.25% on the first 250,000 not capped), PLUS a share custody charge of 0.25% (capped @£25 a quarter) PLUS various dealing charges e.g. 9.95 for ETFs which is double the iWeb price.
Am I reading these sites wrong?
Thanks,

Re: Considering SIPP
StepOne, My SIPP Is with HL which is 0.45% custody per annum capped at £200 plus dealing at £11.95 a pop. I don't have an AJ bell SIPP just an ISA and I only hold shares/ITs ETFs so I might have been confused. I also use AJB cheap dealing days at £1.50.
Here's the horses mouth https://www.youinvest.co.uk/sipp/charges-and-rates and on the following page give a demo portfolio costs, which when I ran an example appears to be a better price than I'm paying for my HL.

If you only hold shares (including investment trusts and ETFs) and do no trades then the total charge is capped at £25 per quarter (no VAT).

Depending upon how close you are to taking retirement you might also want to check how much the different providers charge for one-off or regular drawdown.

Yes. I used to take monthly UFPLS payments from AJ Bell Youinvest, which cost £120 p.a., but I've now changed to a single annual UFPLS payment which only costs £30.

Re: Considering SIPP
My wife and I both have SIPPs in drawdown with HL. They contain only Investment Trusts so we benefit from the £200 cap. There are no admin, or annual, or other fees such as changes of instructions or ad hoc payment fees.
The service is superb.

Re: Considering SIPP
I thought it may be of interest to bring you all up to date .
Shortly after my post I opened a SIPP account with AJ Bell.
I ended up purchasing a few IT's rather than just one holding in Vanguard LifeStrategy. There was some chopping and changing but I have settled upon the list below (indicating the proportion of the holdings). The overall performance I think has been good (given the last calamitous year) but there is a big spread of capital accumulation performance between component parts.
Vanguard Life Strategy 80/20 accum-11.23%
FCIT-29.59%
SMT-21.18%
Bankers-12.40%
TR Propert-7.99%
Mid Wind-7.74%
CTY-8.10%
In terms of capital TR Property and CTY are running at a loss. The others are ok at between 5-15% increases in value. SMT went bonkers and was at 130% earlier this week.
I am happy with my choices and will sit out the next 5 years with them. The only question in my mind is should I change the balance between FCIT and Lifestrategy holdings? Today FCIT has achieved an 8.54% increase in capital value (it does pay out a 1.4% too) and Lifestrategy has increased by 10.66%. In terms of costs and capital accumulation which holding is likely to do better?
thanks in advance
