Applying for a pension in the UK can be pretty easy if you’re working with a good pension provider. In this instance, we’re mostly speaking of pension alternative products rather than your traditional government pension plan.

When a friend recently mentioned he was planning to apply for a SIPP it really caught my attention. I hadn’t heard about SIPPs for a while but the more I learned the more excited I got about that option. There are a number of different pensions available in the UK but it seems a SIPP really gives you more options. The main reason is that, unlike traditional pensions, you can choose the investments you want to make.
