Tilney Bestinvest slashes the cost of multi-asset SIPP investing
Removes SIPP service fee of 0.3% on Ready-made Portfolios

Tilney Bestinvest announces the removal of the service fee on its award-winning “Best SIPP” available through its Online Investment Service for those investing in the firm’s “Ready-made Portfolios”. This will see the removal of the SIPP’s account fee, which has a starting tier of 0.3% for balances up to £250,000, leaving only the fund charges. The new “fee-free SIPP” structure will apply to both existing and new self-directed investors in the Ready-made Portfolios.

The firm offers four multi-asset Ready-made Portfolios, each of which has a different risk profile and which are typically invested in 20 underlying funds selected by Tilney Bestinvest’s research team. The Ready-made Portfolios are regularly reviewed and rebalanced in accordance with Tilney Bestinvest’s asset allocation views and to ensure the portfolios remain consistent with their risk profile. The Ready-Made Portfolios are benchmarked against ARC (Asset Risk Consultants) Private Client Index.

Jason Hollands, Managing Director at Tilney Bestinvest, explained:

“Removing the SIPP account fee represents a considerable overall cost saving and narrows the fee gap between managing and selecting your own investments and opting for a well-diversified, constantly monitored and professionally managed portfolio. While some investors enjoy running their own portfolios, many others find they neither have the time nor inclination to do so but cost has been a key deterrent to choosing a managed portfolio. We believe the new “fee-free SIPP” deal on our Ready-made Portfolios should help them square this circle and importantly the underlying investments are not restricted to index trackers, so there is no dumbing down of the investment content.”

In addition, for investors transferring to the Best SIPP, Tilney Bestinvest will also pay up to £500 towards meeting any exits costs from existing providers, whether or not the investors selects the Ready-made Portfolios or makes their own fund selections*.

Important information

The value of investments, and the income derived from them, can go down as well as up and you can get back less than you originally invested. Current or past yield figures provided should not be considered a reliable indicator of future performance.

This article is not advice to invest or to use our services.

SIPPs are not suitable for everyone. If you don’t want to invest across different asset classes or don’t think you will make use of the investment choices that SIPPs give you then a SIPP might not be right for you.

Self-directed investors should regularly review their SIPP portfolio, or seek professional advice, to ensure that the underlying investments remain in line with their pension objectives.

Before opening a fee-free Best SIPP you should make sure that our Ready-made Portfolios meet your needs and objectives. You should also bear in mind that other investments may have lower fees, and it may also be cheaper to choose your own investments – which the Best SIPP lets you do.
