When It's Time to Rethink Your SIPP
Even if your SIPP is up and running, that doesn’t always mean it’s working in your best interest — especially if you're living abroad. Many investors are stuck paying too much, limited by rigid withdrawal rules, or receiving poor support. If any of the signs below feel familiar, it might be time to explore better options.
You’re Paying Too Much in Fees
Layered charges are common — especially with older SIPPs or if you're in drawdown overseas.
You’re In Poor Investments
If you’re stuck in underperforming or high-fee funds with little flexibility, it’s time to reassess.
Your Provider Blocks Expats
Limited or no international access or no flexible drawdown. That’s a problem if you’re living overseas.
You’re Not Getting Clear Advice
Many investors feel forgotten once their SIPP is set up. You deserve guidance that puts your interests first.

The SIPP providers we work with are UK-regulated, and the advisers are licensed in their respective jurisdictions to support clients living abroad.

Still Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Can I Keep My Existing SIPP if I Move Abroad?
In many cases, yes — but some UK providers restrict access, apply extra fees, or don’t support expats properly.
Can I Transfer My Old UK Pensions Into a SIPP if I Move Abroad?
Yes. A SIPP is often the most flexible way to consolidate UK pensions while living overseas.
How Do I Know if I’m Overpaying?
Check for high admin costs, hidden fund fees, currency charges, or tied-in products.
Will I Pay UK Tax on My SIPP Income Overseas?
In many cases, income is taxed only in your country of residence. However, it's best to check with an expert.
Who Will Provide Me With Advice?
We connect you with UK-qualified, expat-focused advisers licensed to provide guidance across multiple jurisdictions.
