Is there a minimum term for a sipp or stakeholder pension

Options
I will shortly receive a large redundancy payout and then intend to retire.

Can I open up a new SIPP (or Stakeholder) account, pay in the whole amount and then immediately convert it into an annuity (or Drawdown)?

    Stakeholder providers arent really geared for that but its possible with some of them. Typically you would use an immediate vesting personal pension, fund supermarket personal pension or SIPP.
