Gold for Pensions

Gold for Pensions allows your SIPP or SSAS to hold, manage and sell physical gold bullion held within your pension scheme. Physical gold offers proven wealth protection over the long-term, and for these reasons, savers with pensions are increasingly adding gold to their pension portfolios.

Gold for Pensions enables you to manage your precious metals holding, which is automatically secured within our vault.
