Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) Account Structure

Make your own investment decisions through your U.K. Self-Investment Personal Plan (SIPP) account at Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited. To access a wide range of eligible financial investments, go through any SIPP Administrator2, which is our client and is authorised and regulated. See the list of SIPP Administrators.

SIPP Administrators now have the ability to open a master account, which allows their clients (SIPP Beneficiaries) to trade financial products (e.g., stocks, options, etc.) through IB. This is a great way for SIPP Administrators to create new value and attract new clients that seek low cost and best execution in worldwide markets.

How It Works

First, a SIPP Administrator opens a Pension Administrator account with Interactive Brokers (UK) Limited. This account will be your master account. Once your firm completes our online application and submits their required ID documents, we will review and approve your account.

Next, the SIPP Administrator (the master account) sends invitations to each of their respective SIPP Beneficiaries to open an IB account to make use of our online brokerage services. Once each SIPP Beneficiary subaccount is approved, the SIPP Administrator configures trading permissions for the subaccounts and, once funds are deposited, the SIPP Beneficiary subaccounts are ready to trade.

SIPP Administrators (Master Account) enjoy the following benefits:

  • No fees to set up your master account.
  • Manage your SIPP Beneficiary subaccounts with our flexible online Account Management.
  • Comprehensive reporting, including online statements and reports available for all of your sub accounts.
  • Configure user access rights for your internal users to view statements, authorise trading permissions for any of your subaccounts, confirm subaccount funding requests, and more.
  • White branding is available at no extra cost.
  • Get listed on our website as a pre-approved SIPP Administrator so that any prospective SIPP clients can contact you regarding your services.
  • Offer your clients low cost and best execution to trade world markets.

SIPP Beneficiary Clients (Subaccounts) enjoy the following benefits:

  • IB's integrated approach makes it easy to trade multiple products on multiple exchanges and assets denominated in multiple currencies from a single account.
  • Trade on over 100 market centers in 23 countries.
  • Trader Workstation (TWS), our market maker-designed trading platform, optimizes your trading speed and efficiency in a single, comprehensive and customizable workspace.
  • View real-time market data, including prices, fundamental data, news and more (terms and costs may apply).
  • Comprehensive reporting.
  • Manage and control your trading risk with our advanced risk management technology.
  • Low cost brokerage fees. For example:
    £3 / €3 per trade for Western European stocks, with no added spreads, account minimums or platform fees. For larger trades (those over £6000 / €6000) the cost is .05% of trade value. These simplified commission rates are available with IB SmartRoutingSM, which optimizes the execution quality for clients by accessing the many exchanges and trading venues across the continent.3 Pricing on US stocks starts at just USD 0.005 per share.
