    As an update I have, by chance, discovered that my Investacc SIPP has access to certain cash management platforms. I have just opened one with Insignis, which for a fee (max 0.25%) has access to many of the leading savings products eg 2 year fix at 4.5%. Standard FSCS protections.
    That's good. HL have their active savings accounts, but AFAIK you cannot hold them within a SIPP. Perhaps that is something they can consider.

    There is also a thread here discussing how best to hold cash in a SIPP:

    TN25 UK gilts were at 4.66% earlier today for 2 year maturity.
    I had some dividends sitting in my ii SSISA plus some trading credit that was due to expire so bought £500-worth of 2023 gilts yesterday, at the sort of yield you quote. I'm hoping the country doesn't go bust in the next eleven months!
    Bumping this thread :)
    T23 matured yesterday, and the country hasn't gone bust. How did I do?
    On 11/10/22 I spent exactly £500 to buy £504.99-worth if T23. I used my ii trading credit so there was no dealing charges. I received £5.68 coupon payments on 07/03/23 and 07/09/23, and £504.99 yesterday.
    That's a 3.27% minimal-risk return in 11 months.
    By the standards of October 2022, when:
    Cater Allen are paying 3% on 12 month bonds at present
    ... I think that's reasonable.
