Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) with Intrusted
A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a personal pension that gives you control over how your retirement savings are invested, with access to a wide range of investments and the same core tax advantages as other registered pension schemes. At Intrusted, the SIPP is designed for clients who want flexibility and transparency, with support from an experienced administration and trustee team.

Why choose our SIPP - The Robert Graham Personal Pension?
A SIPP built around people, not processes.
The Intrusted SIPP combines the flexibility and investment freedom clients expect with the personal service, technical expertise and responsiveness advisers value. Designed for straightforward cases and more complex pension planning needs, our proposition delivers a bespoke experience supported by experienced pension professionals who understand the importance of getting things right.
Whether transferring existing pensions, investing through a wide range of permitted assets, or planning for retirement, clients benefit from a transparent, efficient, and relationship-driven service every step of the way.
Why choose our SIPP instead
At Intrusted, we believe a SIPP should be more than an administration platform. It should be a trusted partnership that helps advisers and clients achieve better retirement outcomes with confidence.
Support for complex and bespoke pension arrangements
Who a SIPP is for
A SIPP with Intrusted is typically suitable for:
- Individuals who want to choose and manage their own investments, or work closely with an adviser to do so
- Business owners and professionals who may not need the full corporate features of a SSAS but still want access to commercial property and broader investment choice
- Clients consolidating multiple pensions into a single, flexible wrapper with clear administration and charging structures
- Clients that are no longer core to their current SIPP provider but require a specialist SIPP partner
- Registration on the Trustee’s Data Protection Register
Unlike a SSAS, a SIPP is not an occupational scheme set up by an employer; it is a personal pension product established and operated by the SIPP provider.
Property transactions that have a tight time frame as a SIPP can be set up almost immediately.
Key features of the Intrusted SIPP
We do all the hard work so you can benefit from the rewards of your success.
Wide investment choice
Access to a broad range of investments including funds, listed shares, investment trusts and, where appropriate, commercial property and other permitted assets, subject to HMRC rules and our due diligence.
Personal, not corporate
Each SIPP is an individual arrangement under a master trust structure, with a separate account earmarked for each member’s benefits. There is no requirement for a sponsoring employer, and the scheme does not operate as a pooled fund in the same way as a SSAS.
Tax advantages
Contributions benefit from tax relief (subject to annual allowance and earnings), investments grow largely free of UK income and capital gains tax, and up to 25% of the fund is normally available tax-free at retirement, with flexible income options for the balance.
Retirement and death benefits
The SIPP offers full access to pension freedoms: flexible drawdown, lump sums, and beneficiary pensions, within the standard registered pension rules.
How a SIPP differs from a SSAS
Our expert team will guide clients and their advisers through the process, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and perfectly aligned with financial goals. With our tailored hands-on support, we make managing your SIPP straightforward and hassle-free.

Typical SIPP investments
Subject to the scheme rules, HMRC legislation and our corporate Trustee due diligence, your SIPP may invest in:
- Regulated collective investment funds
- UK listed shares and investment trusts
- Cash, deposit accounts and fixed interest securities
- Commercial property and land, with rental income and expenses managed through the SIPP
- Certain investments are restricted or may incur tax charges (for example, residential property and tangible moveable property), so advice and pre‑clearance are essential
