A Henry Stewart Briefing

SIPPs

Self-Invested
Personal Pensions and
Retirement Options

Firmly established as the “must attend” annual briefing for everyone involved in providing or advising on SIPPs and Retirement Options this is an absolutely essential event. Once again a phalanx of industry leading experts cover a wide range of relevant topics, delving into the technical detail without losing sight of the commercial realities.

The unparalleled growth of SIPPs has coincided with a substantial increase in regulation – a unique combination of opportunity and risk, with regulators increasingly concerned about the quality of advice given to savers. Consolidation of SIPP providers seems to many inevitable and this, combined with the growing interest of fund supermarkets and platforms, has introduced even more complexity into the pensions market. It has also stimulated the emergence of new and creative annuity products which, while offering more choice to investors, further ramps up the obligations of professionals to provide simple advice on inherently complex propositions.

At the same time SIPPs are now, more and more, being introduced into the workplace with the further prospect that self investment of protected rights will shortly be allowed. All of this at a time when the details of new retail distribution arrangements are starting to emerge. The need for expert guidance has never been greater and the difficulty of providing it more onerous. This is the briefing to meet your needs. Ample time will be made available for questions and discussion.

Matters covered include:

• An Update from AMPS
• SIPP Regulation – One Year On
- A Scheme Operator’s Perspective
- A Consultant’s View
- SIPPs and Suitability – an FSA Update
• New Options at Retirement and the Implications for the SIPP Market
