SIPP - No fees

Hi
I am looking for a SIPP to pay salary sacrifice into, which has no fee for just holding cash with them; I don’t want to invest in stocks

Also it needs to pay good interest

I already know AJ Bell and Hargreaves Lansdown do this, but are there any others please?

thank you for any help

    You could consider Short Term Money Market funds which are close to cash but offer better interest than cash in mainstream  SIPPs. They will incur charges but these should be more than covered by the higher interest. I believe interest rates of such funds are currently  above 5%  - they should be near the BoE rate.

    The trade off for no platform fees for holding cash, is a poorer interest rate than you get in a normal easy access account. HL, AJ Bell etc pocket the difference.

    As @Linton suggests you maybe be better of paying the platform fees and the fund charge for a money market fund. HL = 0.55% ; A J bell = 0.35%

    For ino, ii also pay interest on cash on a sliding scale. between £10k and £100k it;s 3.5% and then it goes up to 4%.

    I'm sure you just made a typo, but AJ Bell charge is 0.25%.

    If you can get over the psychological aspect that it counts as 'investing' rather than strictly cash 'saving' - a short term sterling money market fund will pay a better rate, with virtually no additional risk, even after taking fees into account.

    Mind you, if you are just talking about 3.5% salsac, it might all be a bit academic...
