Independent advice on SIPP investments

Where is the best place to get completely independent advice on where to invest SIPP funds. I am looking for an organization that doesn't sell investments who will be unbiassed.

    Can I ask why you have a SIPP and are then looking for investment advice - SIPP SELF INVESTED personal pension - its in the name.
  • Because it is tax efficient!

    So are personal pensions and stakeholder pensions.
    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.

    I would have thought you needed "Completely Independent Advice" before launching yourself into a SIPP.

    You have already selected your ship, left the port, and now you want a navigator!

    Are you sure these still exist :eek:

    If you read this forum you might get that idea anyway ;)

  • At the time when we set the SIPP up we intended to build our own distribution centre for our business. Since then the world fell apart and our business no longer requires such a building so I am left wondering what to invest in.

    I dont want to get into stocks and shares because i know nothing about them. I have been looking at student accommodation and whilst it complies with SIPP rules it isn't at all straight forward.
