With the Modular iSIPP you can access over 3,700 funds at competitive prices with the option to add further investment modules to diversify your portfolio. Once the Modular iSIPP is in place, you then have the option to add an Individual Savings Account (ISA) or if you want to invest beyond the pension and ISA allowances, you can add a General Investment Account (GIA).
Please note: you must have an appointed financial adviser before you can apply for a Modular iPlan.
