Hello,
I have an old work place pension pot of 45k that I'm thinking of moving to a SIPP and investing in a number of funds in different sectors/regions. I'm thinking of investing in about 8 or 9 different funds (roughly 5k per fund). Is that a good strategy or should I be aiming for less?
Thanks!

Its an okay number of funds but it depends what they are, and what weighting you apply to each fund. For example you might want a larger amount in a mainstream global equity fund, and a much smaller percentage in an emerging markets fund.
However if you are unsure or not confident about picking your own funds, investing the whole sum in a low cost globally diversified multi asset fund, suitable to your risk level, would be a good choice. Some examples discussed a lot on this forum are Vanguard Life Strategy funds, HSBC Global Strategy funds and L&G Multi Index funds.0 -

In this case the only reason to change would be if the SIPP had lower charges , which is not always the case.I'm thinking of investing in about 8 or 9 different funds0 -
Yes it's a default fund (Aviva Pension Managed XE) which i'm struggling to find much information on. The management fees are pretty low at 0.46% but the SIPP fees are lower.0

The reason I ask is that you may be just as well off by putting it all in one multi-asset multi-sector global fund. You could then see if you would be better off with a flat rate provider who may charge a transaction costs.

I've just opened a Cavendish SIPP for my wife. Lowish 0.25% fee and what I liked was no charges for buying/selling funds.
AJ Bell I think was £1.50 per trade0 -

Why? Seriously. Whats your thinking there? Careful you dont end up creating either an expensive tracker from multiple manged, or your own custom tracker when one would do the job.
Fair enough if you already have some in mind but if you dont, perhaps start with what areas you want to invest in and see if 8 or 9 funds* falls out naturally from that.
* will it be funds or ITs or ETFs or a mixture?0 -

Sent them a email and they said it was a problem with the link to Fidelity0
