How to open a Best SIPP

It’s easy to open a Best SIPP and take control of your pension investments. If you have several pensions with different providers, you can start transferring them into a Best SIPP by filling out this form. Our team will send you the paperwork and then take care of the whole transfer for you. We’ll even pay you up to £500 for any exit fees that your other providers charge**.

Or if you’d prefer to open a Best SIPP with a lump sum, you can get started with as little as £100.

Important information

SIPPs are not suitable for everyone. If you don’t want to invest across different asset classes or don’t think you will make use of the investment choices that SIPPs give you then a SIPP might not be right for you. Please contact us for guidance or advice if you are unsure whether a SIPP is right for you.

**Terms and conditions apply. Exit fees may apply if you leave Bestinvest. Before you consider transferring a pension, it is important to ask yourself: Will I lose any valuable benefits or features from my existing pension plan? Will I incur any penalties on my existing pension if I transfer? Is it an occupational final salary pension scheme? (in which case it is very unlikely to be advisable to transfer) Have I considered the charges on my current plan? (a new arrangement may be more expensive – especially if you have a stakeholder pension).
