Get your pensions and ISAs working harder for you

Important information - please keep in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. Pension transfers are a complex area and may not be suitable for everyone. Eligibility to invest in a SIPP and tax treatment depends on personal circumstances and all tax rules may change in the future. You cannot normally access money in a SIPP until age 55 (57 from 2028).

Bring them together in one home

Trying to manage your investments across different providers can be time-consuming and difficult. By moving them to Fidelity you’ll be able to more easily see how much you have, where your money is invested and how it’s performing. Plus, with our wide investment range and excellent service you’ll have everything you need to get your money working as hard as possible.

You’ll also receive £500 to £2,500 cashback if you apply to transfer any pensions, ISAs or other investment accounts by 1 April 2025. And best of all, the amount you receive is based on the combined value of all investments you move to us. Exclusions, T&Cs apply

Full terms and conditions

Apply to transfer

Before taking the next step, please read the following important information.

The value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may not get back what you originally invest. It’s important to understand that pension transfers are a complex area and may not be suitable for everyone. Before going ahead with a pension transfer, we strongly recommend that you undertake a full comparison of the benefits, charges and features offered.

The normal minimum pension age (NMPA) is the earliest age most people can start withdrawing money from their pensions. After 6 April 2028, some people may retain the right to draw benefits before age 57 depending on the rules of the transferring pension scheme. You should check this with your current provider before transferring. Learn more about the NMPA. Please also read our pension transfer factsheet, Our offer T&Cs and our exit fee T&Cs. You may also wish to download our guide to moving investments.​

This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular product, service or course of action. If you are in any doubt about whether or not a pension transfer is suitable for your circumstances we strongly recommend that you seek advice from one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.

Ways to transfer

There are two ways you can transfer a pension. You should read the differences as it could have an impact on your investments. Regardless of which method you opt for, your cash or investments will remain in your tax wrapper and retain tax-efficiencies throughout the transfer process.

Transfer your pensions as cash - the assets in your old pension will be sold and the proceeds transferred to your Fidelity SIPP as cash. While your pension is being transferred, it won’t be subject to any potential growth or losses from market rises and falls. Average transfer time is 10 days if your provider uses an electronic transfer system but it could take longer if they don’t. See steps involved in a pension cash transfer

Transfer your pensions as they are - with this option (re-registration) you can keep the same investments in your existing pension as long as they're available on our platform, otherwise it will be sold and transferred to us as cash. You can check if the fund is available on our platform here. Before you apply, it’s best to check with your current provider that they can re-register your investments to us. Depending who they are, you may not be able to make any changes to your investments while they’re being transferred. Allow an average of 14 weeks. See steps involved in a pension re-registration transfer

Before you go any further

If any of the following apply to you, you MUST speak to one of our retirement specialists before starting your pension transfer.
 

  • Your pension has any safeguarded benefits or guarantees.
  • You’ve taken all or part of your tax-free allowance or pensions commencement lump sum.
  • You’re already taking an income from your pension, known as drawdown.
  • You plan to take your tax-free allowance or take an income from your pension after your transfer is complete.
  • If the pension plan being transferred is subject to any existing or proposed bankruptcy, earmarking, pension sharing order or other receiving order, you should notify Fidelity of this as soon as possible
  • You have read any information provided or made available by the ceding providers named in this application, in connection with the transfer(s)
