Thing with a SIPP, as I see it, is you have to decide what shares you want to buy yourself.
The advantage being, everything you put in, up to your limit, is tax deductible with the government chucking a bit more in to help you out.
I'm currently outperforming managed pensions and ISAs but take two of my shares out (BP and Rolls Royce) I would be treading water :(
Taxed on exit though. ISA isn’t. They do different jobs really. I have both.

As I only have shares interest rates aren’t of any interest. Keeping hold of dividends is.
Dividend yields are one of the first things I look at when buying shares and when interest rates were sub 1% often far outyielded money in the bank.
Mine are automatically reinvested though as the plan is to build my meagre pension plot the best I can. I need to buy some more shares at the moment but have no Idea what to buy.

The correct way to build money over the long term. Any serious investor knows this above all else. Most of capital appreciation over time comes from reinvested dividends rather than increased share price. Buffett is always crediting his success to the power of compounding rather than stock picking. Reckon he’s worth listening to.

The old baztard won’t pay a dividend on his own stock though. The tight arse.

Came across the Gulf Investment Fund a few months ago and bought a load. That part of the world is definitely the future.

Put a chunk into Fidelity Index World March 22 and it did very little, but didn’t lose when most things were dropping. Doubled down this March and it’s been better since then. Overall I’m exactly 10% up on the total as it stands tonight, which doesn’t feel too bad for a broad base fund.
