over the next 12 years?£125 per month is not a large amount, although it's more than I invested. I seem to have accumulated £40k over the last 5 years.What is your intended investment, that is more important than less than 0.5% in fees.0 -
A SIPP is just a tax advantaged wrapper for investments. So do you know what type of funds you will be buying inside your SIPP?And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.1

as im only a newbie?
and what pension providers do you recommend0 -
I suggest you watch Martin Lewis' show this Tuesday 9th December, on ITV1 as he's having an investment special.
OK, so he's coming at it from an ISA point of view, but the principals will be very similar. e.g. which platform, charges and funds/equities choices available.
SIPP is just a wrapper, just like an ISA is just a wrapper. It's what is under the wrapping that counts!!
However, with the figures you've given of 13 years of contributions at just £125 a month, that only equates to putting in just under £20,000, plus tax relief. Not a huge sum to boost a state pension with, but better than nothing.
I'll have to defer to someone else to do the sums as to what that might compound into, IF you could get, say 5-7% return per year? Plus the added factor of inflation over those 13 years.
I wouldn't have thought you'd get anywhere near £80,000 in 13 years time, as that's a 400% increase, so even if you invested £20k as a lump sum, you'd need at least 30% growth per year to achieve that.
But you're dripping it in, so after year one, you'd have only invested £1500. Even 10% growth would only add £150.
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)0 -

@Baldytyke88
Care to share how you turned less than £125 per month into £40,000 in 5 years!!!

need very best ssip for making the most money?A proper SIPP (and not one pretending to be one) is whole of market. So, on your criteria, all proper SIPPs would meet that objective.i want it to be straight forward to setupProbably not a SIPP if you want it really simple. Maybe a robo-provider pension given your lack of investment knowledge.

A pension or a SIPP is a bit like a supermarket shopping trolley. You can't eat them. It's what you put in them that matters4

Do you have access to a workplace pension?
If so that may be a more efficient way of investing for retirement.1 -
That is a great analogy. If there was one thing I could take away from this year's worth of MSE forum reading, this would be the one.ColdIron said:A pension or a SIPP is a bit like a supermarket shopping trolley.
