Hamilton fronts James Hay SIPP campaign

James Hay has launched a major SIPP campaign fronted by rising Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, who currently leads the driver’s championship by 12 points.

Following a proliferation in SIPP providers launching for A-Day, the campaign highlights important factors IFAs and other clients should consider when selecting a SIPP provider. The James Hay campaign is focused on five key strengths:

Number one – voted the ‘Best SIPP Provider 2007’(1)

Flexibility – diversity of SIPP product portfolio and ability to adapt

Support – vale of our pensions, tax and trust support

Innovation – Unique by-Pass Trust

Strength – backed by Santander, the world’s ninth largest bank.

James Hay is also making its dedicated Technical Support Unit (TSU) available to IFAs. The TSU offers an expert technical resource on pensions, trust and taxation issues. It operates a dedicated support line for James Hay IFA customers.

Shaun Sandiford, Regional Sales Director, said: “This campaign reaffirms James Hay’s commitment to the SIPP market and highlights important issues.

“The growth in the SIPP market means a plethora of new companies offering SIPP services. None except James Hay offer access to a technical support unit offering expert advice on a wide range of pensions, trust and tax issues.

“We are urging IFAs and consumers to look carefully at these key factors before committing to a SIPP provider.”

James Hay is backed by the Santander Group, the largest Bank in the eurozone by market capitalisation, and ninth largest globally. James Hay is a pioneer of SIPPs, launching its first SIPP in 1996. James Hay is the largest SIPP provider in the UK, with over £12 billion in its SIPP and Wrap platforms.
