Self Invested Personal Pensions allow individuals to access alternative investment schemes in areas such as forestry and farmland

A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a special UK personal pension scheme.  SIPPs allows you as the investor much higher personal control over the kind of asset you may invest in.  Once in the SIPP pension the investor is able to build up significant sums in a highly tax efficient manner to provide for their retirement.  If you are looking for an alternative SIPP investment, you will be pleased to know that all of our products are SIPP-eligible under the SIPP investment guidance notes issued by HM Revenue and Customs.  Furthermore, GreenWorld works with an extraordinarily wide array of SIPP Providers!

However, if you do have a SIPP and make SIPP investments, you could be forgiven if you might be wondering if the world is going to pieces.  The Eurozone appears on the brink of collapse; the UK is heading back into recession; and in terms of wages, when inflation is factored in, so-called “real income” – i.e. spending power after inflation – has fallen four straight years since 2007, and as the chart below demonstrates real wages are not keeping up with inflation.

UK Real Wages are Not Keeping Up with Inflation - People are Poorer Now then in 2007

And if you are looking for reassurance from the authorities, well, we have just seen Bank of England Governor Sir Mervyn King baldly state that the world is facing the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, if not ever.  Meanwhile, the BOE is possibly planning to crank-up the printing presses yet again, even whilst  inflation has already been over 3pc for 28 straight months.  High inflation plus slow economic growth is a destructive combination, as inflation will destroy your purchasing power and standard of living.  As the chart demonstrates, the Bank of England’s balance sheet is already nearly £300 billion, and additional QE will only add to that:

QE3 Will Only Add to the BoE's swollen balance Sheet and Cause Risk of High Inflation to Increase

Luckily, if you own a SIPP– or even if you do not -GreenWorld is in a position to help you navigate this crisis.

There are a number of factors that we believe make GreenWorld’s products unique offerings for our clients looking for alternative SIPP investment:

• What GreenWorld offers are not green funds or agricultural funds that contain stocks in these sectors.  Rather, GreenWorld’s alternative investments actually represent direct ownership in the underlying commodity investments such as farmland or forestry.  These are so called “real assets” or “hard assets” that will provide you a desperately needed inflation hedge for your SIPP.
• Second, GreenWorld brings SIPP investment opportunities to our clients in unique areas of the world such as Africa, where farmland investment projects are booming.  All of our farm land investment projects are SIPP eligible investments.
• Third, all of GreenWorld’s products are ethical investments, socially responsible investments and eco- investments– products you can feel proud to include in your SIPP
• Finally, last but not least, all of our SIPP investments are global investments not located in the UK, affording you a measure of asset protection for your SIPPs.
