SIPP Investment Platform Limited (SIP), the definitive source of information on SIPPs and esoteric investments, have launched their new website incorporating an updated comprehensive directory of esoteric investments previously reviewed or awaiting review.

The reviews, which are provided in two formats of either confirming an investment is capable of being held within a SIPP, or a more detailed Governance Report providing background diligence for SIPP operators/trustees, can be accessed by subscribers to the Sipp Investment Platform service. In each case, subscribers such as SIPP operators or advisers can create a personal library of reviews to assist in building their diligence audit trail on esoteric investments; when downloaded each document is date stamped and personalized to the subscriber for record keeping purposes. As an alternative to the annual subscription, regulated businesses will be able to purchase individual reports.

Commenting on the launch, Sipp Investment Platformʼs Operations Director, Gordon Banks said ʻThe website launch brings together in one place an enormous amount of resource around reviews of esoteric investments aimed at being held within a SIPP or SSAS. The number of reviews is being added to daily and we see this as a valuable yet cost effective resource for our pension operator subscribers as the demand for esoteric investments shows no sign of abating. We are also seeing a good level of interest from SIPP operators wishing to use the service in order to aid meeting their regulatory responsibilities in vetting these products prior to acceptance within their schemesʼ.

In addition to the investment review directory there is a free to view information resource linked to member-directed pension schemes and the general investment considerations that should be met in order for an investment to be capable of being held within a SIPP or SSAS.
