The Plum Stocks & Shares ISA allows investors to choose their own investments in mutual funds and money market funds, offering fractional shares – meaning you don't have to buy whole units, making it more affordable to invest. You're also able to select ready-made portfolios. This ISA doesn't offer individual shares, ETFs, or commodities.

This isn’t a flexible ISA, meaning you can’t withdraw and redeposit in the same tax year without negatively affecting your annual ISA limit.

In-specie transfers aren't supported, meaning you'd have to convert investments into cash to transfer elsewhere.

Plum ranks 41st by Fi Fee for small investors (£10,000 portfolios), but fare much better at 32nd for large portfolios (balances of £500,000). To invest, you only need a minimum lump sum deposit of £1. They charge 0.45% as an FX fee for investments in foreign currencies.

SIPP features

Employer contributionsDoes this SIPP allow contributions from your employer? No

Director depositsDoes this SIPP allow company directors to deposit company funds? No

DrawdownDoes this SIPP support drawdown? No

Plum's SIPP provides access to invest with your own investment decisions, ready-made portfolios, and professionally-managed portfolios. You can invest into mutual funds. This SIPP doesn't offer individual shares, ETFs (exchange-traded funds), commodities, or money market funds.

Investors can't transfer their investments in-specie, meaning they must convert to cash prior to transferring to another provider.

Fractional shares are supported, meaning it's possible to invest every penny you deposit. You aren't required to buy whole units of each investment.

When it comes to a pension offering, this SIPP doesn't include the features the average person tends to be looking for: drawdown isn't supported (you'd have to transfer elsewhere to start withdrawing your pension), limited company directors can't deposit via their business, and employers can't make contributions to their employee’s SIPP either.

Plum's SIPP ranks joint-15th by Fi Fee for small investors, and it drops down to 28th for bigger investors.

Plum charges a flat 0.45% annual platform fee to use the pension. You don't have to be on a paid subscription plan to use the Plum pension.
