Hi Guys

Does anyone have a qualified view on the benefits/drawbacks of a self-managed company director pension like this one from PensionBee, versus an IFA managed SIPP with someone like AJ Bell:

https://www.pensionbee.com/pensions-explained/self...

I'm interested in a scheme that allows you flexible payments, rather than being locked into formal agreed contributions in advance. My only concern about a PensionBee type scheme is how well the portfolio is managed, and how, and also how secure these funds are with a smaller provider.

Any insights welcome

Thanks

Just do a cheap global tracker yourself via one of the popular platforms.

You can then do what you want when you want and only need to worry about the HMRC rules.

The Pension Bee plans look horrible to be honest.

Why would you need an IFA to manage a SIPP via AJ Bell - do you have any particularly complex requirements?

All you need to do is set up a SIPP via AJ Bell, and then transfer money into it from your company bank account as and when you want.

It's nothing you and a company accountant can't work out between you....
