SIPP: Self Invested Personal Pension

SIPPs are a product of the Government’s effort to encourage more people to invest in their own private pensions. They offer tax relief, depending on your tax bracket. The money saved in a SIPP can only be used to invest in certain ventures, one of which is land.

With many pensions performing poorly more and more people are looking to take control of where and how their pension is invested. A SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) allows you to decide how your money is invested. Having witnessed land and property around the world increase in value, and in many cases out perform the stock market, it’s only natural that people want to invest their pensions in the global property and land markets.

Many clients have told us that they have transferred funds from the pension fund they have been contributing to into a SIPP. We are not suggesting this is suitable for everyone and if contemplating this, you should seek advice from an Independent Financial Advisor.

Investors feel safer with investments that have been approved for SIPPs as they know that SIPP providers perform extensive compliance work, to ensure themselves of the conformity of the investment. The SIPP Trustees themselves are responsible for ensuring that the investments they make conform to Government regulations.

As the UK property market tightens and domestic investment becomes a riskier proposition, more and more investors are seeing the benefits of less traditional investments. Farmland is being touted by industry experts as one of the safest and most lucrative propositions currently on the market.

Guy Davies-Bateman, an FSA regulated Independent Financial Advisor, has commended Project Greengold as the perfect way to start a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP).

Davies-Bateman commented: “While SIPPs have been around for some time, recent significant changes in pension legislation have made them increasingly popular as a new medium for discerning ‘professional investors’ wishing to wrestle their funds away from large institutions and take control of their future. These can be relatively small amounts - from £20,000 upwards. Although there are risks, many use the value of their SIPP to invest in overseas developments like Project Greengold, an Argentinean agricultural land development producing food and bio-fuel crops.”
