Junior SIPP
Start saving just a small amount now on behalf of a child to make a real difference to their future.
Important information - the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may not get back what you invest. Eligibility to invest in a Junior SIPP depends on personal circumstances and all tax rules may change in the future. Control over the investments passes to the child once they turn 18 and withdrawals will not normally be possible until they reach 55 (57 from 2028). Please note that our guidance tools are not a personal recommendation in respect of a particular investment. You should regularly reassess the suitability of your investments to ensure they continue to meet your attitude to risk and investment goals. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.
Giving your child a head start
A tax-efficient way to build a retirement nest egg for your child. The Junior SIPP allowance for the 2023/24 tax year is £3,600, and you have until 5 April 2024 to use it. Control of the pension passes automatically to your child at 18, however the money is locked away until retirement age (usually 55, 57 from 2028).
