In 2021 I invested £45,000 in a Vanguard SIPP. In July 2023 I asked them to transfer it to my HL SIPP. I did the required paperwork for both sides and waited.

Slight tangent but I'm curious to know why people are moving from Vanguard to HL. It doesn't seem like the logical direction to be moving when HL fees are 0.45% and Vanguard 0.15%?

I was swayed by HL's generous £1,500 transfer offer (on transferred SIPPs > £120k).

Charges are capped @ £200 on HL (ETF's) compared to about £185 with Vanguard.
