Suggestions for what?
There are over 100 providers available on conventional pension products, almost as many SIPP proivders. Being self employed, there is the possiblity of a few other options as well, albeit minority cases.
Each provider has pros and cons on their offerings. Some are better with larger funds or contributions, others have better fund ranges in low risk areas or high risk areas. Some have better charges for people with a long time until retirement, others are better for closer.
No-one can really give you any suggestions on the provider or funds front as we know nothing about you.
If you don't know the subject and do not want to do the research for yourself, then you are best seeing an independent financial advisor. Not a tied advisor (such as those with the banks).I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
