Moving money into a SIPP

[Condi]

Anyone know how I do this? Will someone like HL or SL be able to find my existing (2) pensions and put them in a SIPP? Also, the HL document mentioned that minimum transfer amount could be up to £5000! My pension, 2 years into 'work' isnt anywhere near that size.

Obvious answer is to ask a financial adviser, but Im sure it can be done in house!

In October 2013, the regulator launched its third thematic review into Sipps - expect new guidance and restrictions on what may and may not be invested in to be announced this week. Only you know if you would benefit from a Sipp, but the market for them might be about to change how it looks anyway.

Thanks, I know a SIPP is right for me, but are unsure as to how to actually move the money from my existing pensions to a new one.

Basically.

You establish your SIPP.

You ask your existing pension providers for a transfer value quotation and documents to transfer.

You complete your part of the transfer documents, and send together with the receiving scheme document to your SIPP provider. The SIPP provider will complete and return to the existing pension provider.

Transfer gets paid to your SIPP bank account.

Your SIPP provider may have a transfer in form for you to complete too.

I have a SippDeal account for many years.

You can transfer in instantly from debit card

Your new partner will do most of the legwork, anything they can't do, they will give you the specifics. In terms of pressing the button and sitting back, the principle is not much different from changing a bank account.

Thank you kindly. Looks do-able.

Op is talking about transferring an existing Personal Pension in, not cash.

I did just this a few months ago, using Hargreaves Lansdown. Very, very simple. You join up, download and fill out some simple forms giving them details of who's managing your pension and within a couple of weeks it's all done and dusted.
