SIPP
The PensionBee SIPP is a pension plan that lets you choose how your savings are invested. It is a type of defined contribution personal pension, which means the value of your pension pot at retirement depends on the amount you pay in and the performance of your investments. When deciding where to invest your money you can usually pick from options including stocks and shares and several types of funds, policies and trusts. The government will provide tax relief to your contributions.
