How to add esoteric investments

In experienced hands

It is therefore critical that bespoke Sipp operators have knowledgeable and experienced staff to carry out this due diligence. Advisers will still need to satisfy themselves the asset is a credible investment for their clients - although it may be allowable, it does not infer any recommendation or mean it will necessarily be a good, nor indeed a suitable, investment for the client.
