Where can I invest my pension?
Whether you're a confident investor or a complete beginner, your Plan offers investment ideas to help make you smarter with your money. If you make no investment choices your contributions will automatically be invested in a default investment.
Sometimes so much choice can be daunting. To help you make your own investment decisions Hargreaves Lansdown provides expert investment research to you for free. Please click on the tabs below for more information.
Please note, all funds, including the default option, can fall as well as rise in value so you could get back less than you invest.
I don't want to make any investment choices
The default investment for your SIPP is the HL Growth Fund.
I want to choose my own funds but unsure where to start
Hargreaves Lansdown's experts have suggested three funds for your consideration - an adventurous fund, a balanced fund and a conservative fund.
I want to build my own fund portfolio
The Wealth Shortlist is a list of funds which Hargreaves Lansdown’s analysts believe have the potential to outperform their peers over the long term. However, this is not a recommendation to buy.
I want to choose from the full range of investments
Invest almost anywhere you like - choose from over 3,000 funds, shares, investment trusts, government and company bonds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), cash and more - the choice is yours.
If you are happy to make your own investment decisions, your SIPP lets you invest pretty much anywhere you like, you can choose from:
- Over 3,000 funds
(unit trusts & OEICs) - Exchange traded funds (ETFs)
- Investment trusts
- Government and company bonds
- Shares
- Cash
