SIPP pensions statement question

Have just received my SIPP Annual Review, the first from my new provider.
It sates that part of my SIPP is a Non-Income Withdrawal fund (funds not providing pension benefits) which is a surprise as I have held a the SIPP for 20 years and have never seen this stated before.
I had assumed, wrongly it seems, that all SIPP funds provided pension benefits.
If they don't, what benefits does a Non-Income Withdrawal fund provide?

    Who is the provider - and have you asked them for an explanation?
  • Not yet, that's my next move Thought might be a simple explanation.

    Its not a generic term either. It is their own in-house name.

    Technically, you have non-protected rights (or ordinary rights as they would have been known before that).

    The terminology you are seeing, despite being non-standard, is to differentiate between uncyrstallised funds and crystallised funds.

  • Thanks for your reply but am further confused (not difficult).
    The whole fund has been crystallised.
    I'll get back to my SIPP provider for explanation.

    Strange as I would have guessed it meant uncrystallised. Perhaps this provider has multiple internal classifications. i.e. drawdown but no income taken = Non-Income Withdrawal fund. Just guessing as its not a standard term.
