What about Self Investment?

Group Self Invested Personal Pension (GSIPP)

The Group Self Invested Personal Pension (GSIPP) offers a greater choice of investments than the GFRP and more choice over how and when you take your benefits. Once you have joined the BTRSS, you may have the option to invest in a GSIPP. If you do invest in a GSIPP, you should actively manage your investments and seek investment advice as the greater choice of investments means some of the funds available come with higher risks.

To invest in a GSIPP, you will need to pay a minimum regular payment of £300 a month, or £3,000 a year. If your combined investments are valued at more than £50,000, then your minimum payment reduces to £100 a month. The minimum single or transfer payment is £10,000.

As with any investment, the value of your fund can go up or down and may be worth less than what was paid in. You should also be aware that additional charges are applicable to the GSIPP.

If you are considering this option, you must seek financial advice and you may have to pay for this advice. If you do not have your own financial adviser, you can find one in your area by visiting unbiased.co.uk

If after seeking financial advice you are interested in this option, please call the BT helpline 0800 066 5432 for more information.
