Is PensionBee a SIPP?

PensionBee is a personal pension provider focused on combining old pensions into managed plans. It is not a self-directed SIPP platform in the same way as AJ Bell or Interactive Investor because users choose from PensionBee plans rather than individual funds and shares.

How do PensionBee fees compare with AJ Bell and Vanguard?

PensionBee's charges vary by plan and are simple to understand, while AJ Bell and Vanguard are self-directed platforms with different fee structures and investment ranges. The comparison is not only price: investment choice, service model, transfer process and whether you want managed plans all matter.
