PENSIONS THAT ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE FREETRADE SIPP MAY LOSE THE PROTECTED PENSION AGE BENEFIT, MEANING YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR FUNDS UNTIL AGE 57. PLEASE ENSURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT THIS MAY HAVE ON YOUR SAVINGS.

CHECK BEFORE TRANSFERRING A PENSION TO US THAT WE CAN ACCEPT YOUR INVESTMENTS, YOU WON’T LOSE ANY GUARANTEES, AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND ANY POTENTIAL CHARGES. SEEK ADVICE IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT MAKING A TRANSFER.

A SIPP IS A PENSION ACCOUNT DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN INVESTMENT DECISIONS AND SAVE FOR RETIREMENT. YOU CAN USUALLY ONLY WITHDRAW FROM YOUR PENSION AT AGE 55 (57 FROM 2028), EXCEPT IN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

FREETRADE CURRENTLY ONLY SUPPORTS UNCRYSTALLISED FUND PENSION LUMP SUMS (UFPLS) FOR WITHDRAWALS AFTER AGE 55. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU SEEK FINANCIAL ADVICE BEFORE MAKING ANY WITHDRAWALS FROM YOUR SIPP.
