You can use the Retirement Portfolio as a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). This is particularly useful if you want to invest in assets such as commercial property, stocks and shares, fixed interest assets and other funds. You can also use the SIPP on its own, or invest part of your pension fund into it, and access MetLife's guarantees under the insured funds.
The SIPP acts as a tax-efficient pension wrapper and gives you the freedom to choose from a range of options that will help you diversify your portfolio and protect against inflation.
Here are some of the investment options:
Choice of funds – access to a choice of approximately 800 funds from leading external fund managers.
Wide selection of UK and international equities – including companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM)
Other quoted investments – such as gilts, bonds and investment trusts
