Self Invested Personal Pension

Two of my best financial decisions ever...firstly to switch my pension to a SIPP and secondly, to choose Hargreaves Lansdown as the provider. First class service at all times and excellent on-line information.

Very impressed with the way the whole thing was handled. I was always 'kept in the picture' and I am most grateful for such swift and efficient service. Would definitely recommend this company to others.

Transfer of my SIPP to HL took longer than I would have hoped and wasn't helped by HL failing to complete forms correctly and failing to chase the provider I was moving from.
However I'm, very pleased with the Vantage platform, the online access, the information and research provided online and the printed newsletter. HL also answer the phone quickly and the customer service staff all seem knowledgeable and helpful.

Always able to speak to someone 1st time I call and no annoying automated queues.

Geographic numbers for calling is the best thing and customer service is always polite and efficient.

The publications are also very balanced and informative.

Excellent customer service! The one time I had to call with a query was answered after the first ring, and the person actually spoke English that I can understand and dealt with my query without referring to anyone else.

Twice in the last week I have been unable to access my account due to website problems. Today 2 of my holdings have been volatile. I am not impressed at the level of service from such a FTSE 100 company.

This may be true but my original comments are still valid.
The whole point of offering an online service is that it is available online - force majeure excepted. This is especially true of a leading FTSE 100 financial services company.
If Amazon had this recent quality of service that I experienced it would not be the business leader for long!
Overall my experience of HL is good - it is just a tad unfortunate that the https access is at times a little temperamental.

My Vantage SIPP gives me the freedom to chose funds, whichever and whenever I want.

Would like more clarity as to which funds are lowest risk for first-time investors

The only negative is that the Web service needs an option to increase the time of inactivity before logging out - it's a pain to have to keep logging back in.

It would be nice if the financial advice service were available to those with a portfolio smaller than £100k

I am impressed by the customer service, especially on the telephone where it is relief to get an instant actual knowledgeable person who speaks and understands English as a first language. No press this button or wait endlessly or type in this code or answer this question; just straight to a person who answers your question without first making you jump through unnecessary hoops. For this alone I am prepared to put up with their abysmal charge of £10 per dividend re-investment on a minimum of £200 (other companies charge £1.50 to £2 on any sum) or rather I am not in so far as I will not be doing reinvestment until I am getting > £400 per dividend.

Hargreaves Lansdown have changed the way I think about investing. The ease of their website, impartial fund reviews and always having somebody on the end of the phone to answer questions, has made them my choice when it comes to savings. Highly recommended

May in the future be able to give an excellent but as yet due to own circumstances being particularly busy, I have not got around to properly sorting my pension fund. Therefore so far otherwise all 'Good'.

I'm very pleased with the Vantage SIPP. Since completing the easy transfer of three of my previous pensions I'm now able to take control of my pension pot and watch the funds grow. Picking the funds to invest was greatly helped by the Wealth 150 fund list. I've already recommended HL to my family and colleagues.
