The Property Investor Show has been firmly established as the ‘benchmark’ international property event staged in the UK for almost 10 years. OPP Live is established as the UK’s definitive trade event for international property – attracting exhibitors and visitors from across the world.

Intelligent Partnership (IP) took the initiative three years ago to create the UK’s first ever SIPP Zone at what has historically been a property focused event, creating a space which for both 2009 and 2010 was the most heavily visited stand of the show.

SIPPS, or Self Invested Personal Pensions have become big news in the last few years and with good reason. Traditionally SIPPS have been the preserve of the wealthy as in the past prohibitively high charges have made them only accessible to individuals with pension funds over £200,000. Changes in pension legislation and increased competition within the market however have seen these charges fall dramatically with the result that people with as little as £3,000 can take advantage of alternative investments and gain more control of their pension with a wider range of investment options.

With millions of Britons forced to alter their retirement plans due to the negative financial shift people are far more open to the idea of investing in tangible assets and the number of SIPPs being set up continues to soar with estimates putting the number of SIPP’s in the market currently at over four million

While SIPPS can be complex with strict rules, the mystery of them is revealed at the SIPP Zone where both consumers, IFA’s and mortgage advisors have the opportunity to meet with experienced consultants and product providers and gain a real insight into the huge financial advantage of these vehicles.

Capitalising on Intelligent Partnership’s relationships with IFA’s and pension trustees and its core competency of managing the distribution of its retained SIPP approved products; the company is well placed to deliver a multi-faceted SIPP Zone to serve the needs of both consumer and trade visitors.

SIPP providers from Lifetime SIPP and The TailorMade SIPP Ltd and product representatives from Food Water & Energy Ltd and Green Oil Plantations will offer visitors seminars and advice as well as providing opportunities to discuss personal financial circumstances with the IFA’s in the SIPP Zone.
