Gold SIPP Pension - Gold Pension | | | Add precious metals to your SIPP through our partner, Berkeley Burke | A Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is specialist style of personal pension available to UK residents which is designed to meet the needs of the individual rather than an insurance company. It gives access to a greater choice of investment options and retirement flexibility than is available from typical insurance company arrangements, or occupational schemes. SIPPs can be a tax efficient, cost effective and flexible savings vehicle in planning for your future. GoldMoney has worked with its UK partner, Berkeley Burke SIPP Administration Limited, to create a SIPP which is designed to work seamlessly with GoldMoney's facilities for dealing in and holding Gold. One of the key features is that customers can transfer existing holdings of Gold at GoldMoney into the SIPP by way of an in-specie transfer, subject to having sufficient UK taxable earnings. Customers can then buy more Gold with the tax that Berkeley Burke & Co. Ltd can reclaim on the value of the in-specie transfer at either 20% or 40%, depending on each customer's personal circumstances. This is an exclusive arrangement between GoldMoney and Berkeley Burke SIPP Administration Limited. What are the differences between the Gold SIPP and the Gold Pension? The Gold SIPP gives you access to a wide range of investment options including: Investment Funds, Shares traded on a Recognised Exchange, Commercial Property, Future & Options, and Commodities including Gold. You must contribute at least £50,000 into the Gold SIPP at commencement. The Gold Pension is a reduced version of the Gold SIPP and can invest in GBP cash and Gold only, but the Gold Pension has no minimum contribution requirement.
