Before you start

This is an application form to open an Halifax Share Dealing SIPP, administered by AJ Bell Management Limited. Please note, this application will not save so please make sure you have the following details before you start:

  • Your current home addresses and any previous address from the last 3 years.
  • Your National Insurance Number
  • The details of any pensions you want to transfer into your SIPP (you can also do this once your SIPP is open).

You also need to know

  • We don't offer any advice - you will be responsible for any of your investment decisions.
  • The value of investments, and income from them, can rise and fall so you may get back less than you invest. If you're unsure about investing, seek independent advice.
  • If you are new to investing and would like more information make sure you understand the risks.

Your money and stocks held safely

We look after your stock and cash by keeping them separate from our own. You also have protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
