Saving in a self-invested personal pension is a great way to create a side pot from your workplace pension or to build a retirement fund if you are self-employed. On this bonus episode of This is Money, Simon Lambert is joined by Trading 212's chief operating officer, George Mantilas, to discuss everything you need to know about investing in a SIPP. From how to get easily get started, to what you can do to improve your pension saving and keep fees low, they discuss SIPP essentials. These include the benefits of a SIPP, how they work, why people invest in SIPP as well as a work pension, and why investing in a SIPP matters. Also, do fees matter as much as what you invest in?
