James Hay SIPP

I was looking to use IG platform for a SIPP.  Naively, I thought this would work like the "Interactive Investor" platform where there is a seperate (and all but anonymous) administartor in the background and I would be using the normal IG platform to buy and sell shares as I pleased. Just spoke to James Hay and they say that I cannot invest in shares direct myself - this can only be done using one of their fund managers. Therefore, I suspect that IG just get a referral and the relationship ends there. That is not attractive to me. IG need to take this in-house like Hargreaves Lansdown and Interactive Investor and then they would get much more business

PS James Hay's Glassdoor reviews and the other intenet reviews I have read on them since are pretty dire so I am probably well to steer clear.

'IG SIPPs are administered by James Hay, who charge a £195 annual fee and may charge for transferring investments not currently held in a SIPP.'   £195 fee every year even if you or they do nothing - I will not be opening an account.

Hi @Ziggzigg - that's actually incorrect and I think there may have been crossed wires with whoever you were discussing with at James Hay. 

When you open a SIPP with us (in partnership with James Hay) you are opening a Self Invested Personal Pension, i.e. a personal account where you make the financial decisions to invest or not. It looks / acts exactly like the share dealing account however it is in a SIPP tax efficient wrapper. You can read more about the account here, including how to add or open one. https://www.ig.com/uk/investments/sipp/share-dealing 

If you want to discuss the account administrative side of things then please contact James Hay, however if you want to discuss deal execution then please contact us. 

Finally it's worth noting that the Glassdoor website is a review site for employees of the company and for those seeking a job there, not a reflection of their service (in the same way Trustpilot is).

    • Stumbled onto $weETH recently, and it’s got me thinking. It’s more than just staking ETH for rewards weETH also restakes automatically in EigenLayer, so you’re maximizing yield without extra effort. What really caught my eye, though, is how they’ve designed it to keep everything in your control with non-custodial staking.  Add in some perks like loyalty points and compatibility with DeFi protocols on Arbitrum and Polygon, and it’s set up to go beyond the usual staking.  Anyone else looking at $weETH? Worth it, or just another token in the mix?
    • In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the global cryptocurrency market, Bitget, a leading CEX, has made a significant move by appointing Min Lin as its new Chief Business Officer. With a history of leadership at Binance and Goldman Sachs, Lin brings over a decade of expertise to Bitget's ambitious expansion in Latin America. His unique blend of traditional finance and blockchain experience positions him to navigate the complex market dynamics in the region.  Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, believes Lin’s expertise is crucial for their strategic vision. “Min’s track record in scaling cryptocurrency businesses aligns seamlessly with our growth goals,” says Chen. In his new role, Lin emphasizes his commitment to innovation and user-focused products. He aims to promote wider acceptance of blockchain technology while tailoring solutions to meet the unique needs of Latin American users. This move underscores Bitget’s commitment to emerging markets. With a 98% increase in active users in Latin America in 2024, the potential for growth is evident. The question remains: how will this move influence the competitive landscape in Latin America?
    • Exchange tokens are a good alternative investment. Unlike regular coins, they provide access to exclusive privileges, including: -Deduction of trading fees, whether in spot or futures trading -Participation in airdrop campaigns, such as Launchpool, Launchpad, PoolX, and others The benefits of holding an exchange token cannot be overstated, yet many users are still unaware of these advantages.  I currently hold some MX, BGB, BNB, and KCS in my portfolio, though I initially knew little about the privileges associated with them. After joining this Bitget online community, I was able to connect with other BGB holders, interact with them, and discover a lot more. The minimum requirement is 100 BGB to gain access to the community, and there's an ongoing campaign with a range of merchandise giveaways. We could take advantage of this campaign as we’re now in Moonvember if you’re holding more than the minimum required amount. I’m not a financial advisor, so always DYOR.
