Investments

There is a wide range of investment opportunities to choose from. Members can use a SSAS to:

  • Buy commercial property or land (including overseas property) which can be leased back to the employer or an unconnected party.
  • Borrow up to 50% of the net assets of the scheme on a commercial basis for any purpose.
  • Make secured loans of up to 50% of the net assets of the scheme to the employer (but not directly to members or those connected to members)
  • Make secured, or unsecured loans to unconnected third parties.
  • Invest in unlisted shares in certain circumstances
  • Invest directly in listed shares through a broker either on an execution only or discretionary basis
  • Invest in more conventional pension investments such as unit trusts, OEICs, investment trusts and Insurance Company trustee investment plans.

If you would like to discuss whether a particular investment is viable through the SSAS vehicle then please contact us and we would be happy to help.
