About The IPS Partnership

The IPS Partnership was born in September 2008 as a result of the merger of two leading providers of Self Administered Pension Schemes; IPS Pensions Ltd and PAL Partnership Ltd. Both firms have over 30 years experience in the administration of member directed pension schemes and achieved recognition in the industry as experts in this field.

The new firm combines the strengths and expertise of IPS and PAL, and through combined resources delivers a market leading service proposition across our three offices in Bristol, London and Manchester. Our objective remains unchanged in delivering first class pensions administration service to our clients and professional partners.

Our expertise and technical knowledge originated through combining the roles of Trustee and Scheme Administrator specialising in fully self-administered pension schemes (SSAS) from 1976, and Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) from 1995.

SSAS and SIPP are complex pension arrangements with a wide choice of investment options and flexible options at retirement. Such pension arrangements require expert administration and technical guidance which the merged business is proud to provide through the creation of a major SIPP/SSAS specialist in this increasingly dynamic market.

Our range of services includes:

• Fully self-administered pension schemes (member directed) for directors and key executives, designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized firms who find it difficult to get good advice on pension plans. IPS administer nearly 2000 SSAS schemes.
• The IPS SIPP, a self invested personal pension plan for high net worth individuals which combines an exceptionally competitive fee structure with access to a deposit account paying one of the highest deposit rates available. The IPS SIPP provides access to the complete range of investments available from April 2006. We operate approximately 7000 SIPPs with an average case size of over £260,000
• Administration services for group defined benefit and money purchase pension schemes

IPS Partnership is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and we are part of a larger group, our parent is the IFG Group PLC, a company quoted on the Dublin and London stock exchanges.
