Almost 40% of IFAs expect an increase in SIPP business over the next year, and there is growing interest in schemes linked to platforms and discretionary managers, according to a report from Defaqto.

SIPP exit fees have become so high they are breaking TCF obligations, according to Dentons Pensions Management.
