Benefits of Investing through your SSAS Pension

A Small Self-Administered Scheme (SSAS) is a type of UK pension scheme that offers more flexibility and control over investments compared to standard personal or workplace pensions. 

Some potential benefits of eligible investments within a SSAS pension:

• Investment Control: SSAS pensions allow greater control over where your pension funds are invested. This control enables you to tailor your investments to your financial goals and risk tolerance.
  
• Diversification: With a SSAS pension, you can diversify your investments across various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, property, and even alternative investments like private equity or loans, reducing the risk associated with concentrating investments in a single asset.
  
• Tax Efficiency: SSAS pensions benefit from various tax advantages, including tax-free growth within the pension fund, tax relief on contributions, and potential inheritance tax benefits. Investments within a SSAS pension can grow tax-efficiently.
  
• Property Investment: SSAS pensions allow for investments in commercial property, providing the potential for income and capital growth returns. You can even use your SSAS pension to purchase property for your business to operate from.
  
• Borrowing: In some cases, a SSAS pension can borrow funds to invest in assets, which can increase your investment capacity.
  
• Legacy Planning: You can pass on the assets held within your SSAS pension to your beneficiaries upon your death. These assets may be subject to a reduced tax charge or even exempt from inheritance tax, depending on the circumstances.
  
• Business Funding: A SSAS pension can be used to lend money to your own company or to invest in your business, providing a source of financing for growth or working capital needs.
  
• Retirement Planning: SSAS pension funds can be used to provide retirement income through flexible options, such as drawdown, annuities, or a combination of both, allowing you to tailor your retirement income to your needs.
  
• Estate Planning: A SSAS pension can be part of your estate planning strategy, potentially helping to reduce the overall tax liability on your estate upon your death.
  
• Asset Protection: Assets held within a SSAS pension are typically protected from creditors in the event of bankruptcy or financial difficulties, providing an additional layer of security for your retirement savings.
