Annual account charges
It's free to set up an HL SIPP, and our yearly charge for holding investments is never more than 0.45%. There’s no charge for inactivity or for holding cash.
You can see the interest rates paid on any cash held in a SIPP here.

Important note about charges
The investments you choose may have their own charges, such as charges from a fund manager. These are in addition to our account charges. You can find these in each investment’s key investor information. A bid/offer spread may also apply - see our Guide to Fund Prices for details.
If you have more than one account, for example a SIPP account and a SIPP drawdown account, any charges on those accounts will be treated separately.
Dealing charges
Fund dealing
Includes unit trusts and open-ended investment companies (OEICs). There’s no dealing charge for buying or selling funds.
Share dealing – online and mobile app

Automatic reinvestment
If you’d like any share income automatically reinvested, we’ll reinvest your income when it reaches £10 per holding or the amount you choose. There’s no charge for this.
Financial advice
The charges above don’t include the cost of any advice you might need. If you need financial advice, our adviser would agree this cost with you separately.
Other charges
Other charges may apply in specific circumstances - see the terms and conditions for details.
How to pay charges
There’s no need to remember to make any payments – we’ll automatically take our charges each month. You’ll need to keep cash in your account to pay any charges – there is a suggested minimum cash balance based on the size of your SIPP, but you can hold as much cash as you like.
