Good evening,
I currently have a moderate amount of cash savings in a vanguard sipp earning 1.6% ish. Are there other sipps that can beat this rate? I understand the fees/charges maybe more..
Many Thanks

Thanks albermarle, it seems to be almost impossible finding sipp cash interest rates online!?
I'm trying to pluck up the courage to invest more of the cash into index funds (mainly s&p/world index funds), but worried about the short term volatility. If only we knew where the bottom of this US bear market was, will it decline further to 30 or even 40%? When will the market get to a point which is considered "cheap" and when will it recover?
I also thought bonds were supposed to be relatively risk free. (Until now).

Close Brothers Savings offer savings bonds for their SIPPs administered by Close Brothers Asset Management.This is the only one they are offering at the moment:I don't think it is wise to take them up on it at the moment though!

Seems I just started another thread for this subject so apologies.0

If you are investing for the long term ( which is what is usually advised), then short term volatility should not be a big concern. Clearly going 'all in' now would need a strong nerve, but some monthly drip feeding should be less stressful and should bring a good result eventually.Johnny_Doe said:Thanks albermarle, it seems to be almost impossible finding sipp cash interest rates online!?

As far as I am concerned, tax sheltered investments are not for cash. Not unless you want to subsidize the brokerages.
Its a good time to be fully invested in stocks and bonds. Stocks are far cheaper than on Jan 1st. A massive sale is on. Bonds are (finally) giving us a mathematical chance of gaining in real terms. That’s a positive change. Last year I really struggled to find home for my FI allocation. Now its easy.0 -
This is a pretty comprehensive list of eligible SIPP deposit rates
https://!!!!!!.uk/accounts-for-pensions/
To access them, you may have to have a flexible SIPP provider who lets you access the whole market (like the Minerva SIPP from Investacc)
