When investors and advisors talk about self-invested pensions most naturally think about SIPPs, or Self-Invested Personal Pensions to give them their full name. But we shouldn’t overlook the SIPP’s lesser known cousin, the SSAS (Small Self-Administered Scheme).
There are a few specific occasions when a SSAS can be preferable to a SIPP, especially when a group of investors are buying a commercial property or when a loanback is required.
Many investors and advisers often avoid considering a SSAS in the mistaken belief that it is more costly and complex than a SIPP, neither of which is necessarily true.
