Details

SIPPs Online allows financial advisers to produce new business illustrations (accumulation and drawdown) and to complete applications.

Illustrations can be saved, retrieved and used to prepopulate applications.

Applications can be part-completed and resumed later. The progress of applications can be tracked and secure file exchange is enabled.

Clients do not need to be present when advisers complete the online application and all signing is delivered at once. An application summary is suitable for the client and/or compliance.

Permitted Investments Investments and the parties used for execution/custody of them have to pass the SIPP Provider's due diligence.
