Chelsea has always been renowned for its investment expertise and for being the first fund broker to discount the initial charge. To continue with this trend, opening a SIPP via us remains a competitive way of saving.

  • 0% set-up charge
  • 0% initial charge on funds
  • Competitive service and platform charge
  • Free telephone dealing
  • Free transfer in
  • Free switching
  • Low-cost drawdown option
  • Twice-yearly statement with expert research commentary
  • Pre and post sale illustration
  • 20% tax relief automatically reclaimed by Suffolk Life (based on relevant earnings)
  • Access to tax-free cash from 55
  • 0% charge processing probate
  • Dedicated Chelsea pension administrator

Investing in a pension has the same charges as if you were to open an ISA, or (non-ISA wrapped product) via us:

Up to £250,000 held with Chelsea
Aegon's platform fee 0.15%
Chelsea's fee 0.40%

Amounts between £250,000 and £500,000
Aegon's platform fee 0.15%
Chelsea's fee 0.35%

Amounts between £500,000 and £1m
Aegon's platform fee 0.10%
Chelsea's fee 0.30%

Amounts between £1m and £2m
Aegon's platform fee 0.10%
Chelsea's fee 0.25%

Amounts over £2m
Aegon's platform fee 0.10%
Chelsea's fee 0%

These costs are based on the whole portfolio, so all of your assets contribute to the total and are not product specific (for example ISA, SIPP). On the first £250,000 invested you pay 0.55%, then for the next £250,000 you pay 0.50% and so on.
