      You can allow a Third-Party Provider (also referred to as a ‘TPP’ or ‘Open Banking Provider’) to have access to the information in the Wallet or to initiate certain Transactions from the Wallet. The TPP must be authorised to provide these services to you, and we recommend that you check their authorisation on their regulator’s register of authorised providers before using them.
    • 5.2

Once the TPP properly identifies itself to us, we will treat any instruction from the TPP as if it was an instruction from you. You also consent to us sharing any information (including Personal Data) with the TPP that is reasonably required for them to provide their services to you.
    • 5.3

If we do block access, we will tell you beforehand or as soon as possible afterwards in a way that we consider the most appropriate. We won’t tell you if Applicable Law prevents us from doing so or if there are valid security reasons for not informing you. We will unblock access to the TPP when the reasons for blocking no longer exist.
    • 5.4

    • 6.3
      Unless we tell you otherwise, you can use the Card at any Retailer which accepts Mastercard.
    • 6.4
      There are certain circumstances when a Retailer may require you to have an Available Balance which is greater than the value of the Card Transaction you wish to make. Retailers may request this as they may need to access more funds than you initially planned to spend for example, when you make hotel or rental car reservations. If this happens, you will not have access to the blocked amount of funds until the Card Transaction is completed or, at the latest, for up to a period of 30 days. We will only block access to the exact amount of funds authorised by you. You will only be charged for the actual and final value of the Transaction.
    • 6.5
      You cannot use the Card at Retailers that cannot check that you have sufficient Available Balance for the Card Transaction (for example, Card Transactions made on trains, ships, some in-flight purchases and tollbooths which are not online).

      We accept no liability if a Retailer refuses to accept payment using the Card. It is your responsibility to check the restrictions of each Retailer.
    • 6.7

      Depending on the type and location of the ATM and the Card settings, you may not be able to withdraw cash using a Virtual Card.

      You must not use the Card for any illegal purposes.
    • 6.10
      Yeeld, or its commercial partners, may provide you with promotional and financial incentives, such as cashbacks, round-ups, auto save and investment tools. Those incentives are not provided by TPL, are not governed by this Agreement and TPL is not responsible or liable for them or for any losses that you may incur when using them. Should you have any queries regarding those incentives, please refer to your contracts with Yeeld, or its group companies or partners, that you can find on the Yeeld Website.

      You must give your consent to each Transaction by a) entering your PIN or other security information; b) providing the Card details and/or providing any other details personal to you and/or the Card; or c) authorising a TPP to initiate a Transaction. Once you have given such consent to the Transaction, we will consider it to be authorised by you.
    • 7.2
      When you make a Transaction, we consider it to be received when it is received by our processing partner. If a Transaction order is received after 4pm on a Business Day, then it will be considered to have been received on the next Business Day.

      If the Card was lost, stolen or used by someone without your permission and you haven’t reported it to us when you became aware of it, you may be responsible for all of the losses. If our investigations show that you authorised a Transaction that you’re disputing or that you acted fraudulently or that you negligently or intentionally breached the terms of this Agreement (for example, if you showed someone your PIN and they made a payment with your Card without you knowing about it), we may not refund you the amount that was spent.
    • 10.4
      Once you report a loss, theft or unauthorised use of the Card or Wallet, we will block them so that they can no longer be used.

We won’t refund it if we believe that the incident may have been caused by a breach of this Agreement, through gross negligence or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect fraud.
    • 10.8
      If you don’t think we’ve carried out a Transaction correctly, we will immediately try to trace the Transaction and will notify you of the outcome. We will not charge you for doing this. If we are liable for the Transaction, we will refund the amount as soon as we can, together with the amount of any fees which may have been charged to you.
    • 10.9

      If you ask us to investigate a Transaction which is initiated by a Payee (for example, a recurring payment which you have authorised) and the exact Transaction amount was not specified when you authorised the payment and  the amount  was more than you could have reasonably expected, taking into account your previous spending pattern, the terms of this Agreement and the relevant circumstances of the case, we will refund that amount.
    • 10.12

If this happens, you agree to return the funds to us and to provide the help we need to recover the amount from you. If we cannot recover the funds, we are required to provide sufficient details about you and the incorrect payment to the bank or institution that sent the payment so that they can recover the funds.
    11. Payment Disputes
    • 11.1
      If you dispute a Card Transaction that you have authorised, and which has been processed on the Card, you should settle this with the person you bought the goods or services from; we are not responsible for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of goods or services purchased with the Card.
    • 11.2
      If the dispute cannot be resolved you should contact us at Customer Services, and we will try to help you to resolve it.

      If you use the Card in a currency other than the currency of the Card (we will refer to this amount in this clause as the “Foreign Currency Transaction”), we will use an exchange rate set by Mastercard to convert the amount to the currency of your Card and we will deduct it from your Available Balance.

      You may also be charged a Currency Conversion Fee as set out in the Fees & Limits Schedule below.

You can see this information on the Website before you make a Foreign Currency Transaction.

      Exchange rates can go up and down quickly and they may change between the time you make a Transaction and the time it is deducted from your Account/Available Balance. You agree that any change to the exchange rate may be applied immediately and without us giving you any notice.

    • 3.2

      For each new tax year, all contributions to your Account will be allocated first to your ISA until the maximum subscription is reached for that year, or until your own pre-set limit. Once the maximum subscription or your own pre-set limit is reached, future contributions are allocated to the non-ISA remainder of your Account.
    • 4.3
      If WealthKernel decides to delegate any of our functions or responsibilities under this Schedule, WealthKernel will first satisfy itself that such person is competent to carry out any of those functions and responsibilities delegated.

      You must always remain the beneficial owner of any investments held in your ISA and you must not dispose of or transfer any interest in any investment while it is held in your ISA. Additionally you must not create any charge or security on or over any investments held in your ISA; for example you must not use them as security for a loan.

      Your investments will be registered in the name of WealthKernel Nominee Limited. Share certificates and other documents evidencing title to investments held in your ISA will be held by WealthKernel. Please see Schedule 1 above for the terms governing the custodian service.

      You can ask WealthKernel through your Introducer to arrange for you to:
      • 1.
        a UK resident;
      • 2.
        performing duties as a Crown employee serving overseas and paid out of thepublic revenue of the United Kingdom (typically a serving member of thearmed forces, or a diplomat), or
      • 3.
        married to, or in a civil partnership with, such a person.
    • 6.2
      Please note that WealthKernel reserves the right, on providing prior notice, to charge you a fee purely to cover its administrative costs in making these arrangements.

    • 7.1
      You authorise WealthKernel to disclose to HMRC all such information as required by law. Your Introducer will notify you by email if, by reason of any failure to satisfy the provisions of the ISA Regulations, your ISA has or will become void.
    8. TRANSFERS
    • 8.1
      You can transfer all of your ISA, together with all rights and obligations, to anotherISA manager (the “New ISA manager”). If you want to transfer your whole ISA to the New ISA manager then WealthKernel will transfer all subscriptions you have made in the current tax year and previous tax years, if applicable. We do not allow partial transfers to new ISA managers, you must transfer all the funds held within your ISA with WealthKernel.
    • 8.2
      When WealthKernel receives through your Introducer your written instructionsWealthKernel will transfer your ISA to the New ISA manager in accordance with the ISA Regulations. WealthKernel will carry out the transfer within accordance with ISARegulations, which will not exceed 30 calendar days.
    • 8.3
      You can only transfer out to another ISA manager as a ‘Cash’ transfer. This means that all assets and investments within your ISA will be sold and transferred to the new ISA manager to reinvest the funds. Currently, WealthKernel does not allow the option to transfer out to another ISA manager ‘in specie’ which is where the existing assets are not sold and are reregistered to the new ISA manager. Please note that during a cash transfer, unlike an inspecie transfer, you will be exposed to market risk on your investments while they are liquidated and sent to your new provider as cash when only then they can then be reinvested. With market movements in prices from the date the investments are sold and purchased this does mean you may get less or more investments for the cash transfer amount.
    9. WITHDRAWALS AND CANCELLATION
    • 9.1
      You can also instruct WealthKernel through your Introducer to transfer to you all or part of your ISA and any interest, dividends, rights or other proceeds arising from them, or sell all or some of the investments in your ISA and pay you the sale proceeds in respect of your investments (a “Withdrawal”). WealthKernel will complete the Withdrawal within a reasonable period that may take up to 30 calendar days from the date WealthKernel receives your instruction through your Introducer.
      • Cash withdrawn from your ISA can be replaced within the same tax year without counting towards your annual subscription limit.
      • Replacement deposits must be made with the same provider from where the cash being replaced was withdrawn.
      • Please note any withdrawals not replaced in the same tax year will cause the withdrawn investments to lose their tax-efficient status.
    • 9.2
      Please note any withdrawals will cause the withdrawn investments to lose theirtax-efficient status. Amounts invested into your ISA and later withdrawn will still count towards your relevant annual ISA allowance.
    • 9.3
      In addition to the ability to withdraw from your ISA, you may also cancel your ISA if you meet the requirements set out in the “Cancellation Rights” provided for in Schedule 1. Exercising your cancellation rights within the relevant period will mean that your investments will be treated as never having entered the ISA, and so will not count towards your annual ISA allowance.

    • 7.6
      In the event of WealthKernel’s insolvency your money, by virtue of having been separated from our assets and held in a Client Money account, will not be available to our creditors. However, should a third party with whom your money has been deposited default the following may happen:
      • 1.
        UK bank accounts: If your money has been deposited in a UK bank account it will typically be held in a pooled account with other client’s money. If the third party bank defaults and there is a shortfall that cannot be met, then you may have to share in the loss according to the proportion of the funds attributable to you in the pooled account.
      • 2.
        Non-UK bank accounts: If your money has been deposited in a non-UK bank account you face the same risk of loss as you would for a UK bank account. Additionally the laws of that country might be different from the laws and regulations in the UK. Your money might be less secure and might be treated differently than it would have been treated if it had been held in a UK bank account.
      • 3.
        Money market funds: If your money is held in one or more money market funds it will typically be held in a pooled account with other clients’ money. If the fund(s) default and there is a shortfall, you may have to share in the loss on a pro rata basis. In addition, you may be subject to the laws of the country in which the money market fund is domiciled, which may be different to the laws of the UK.
      • 4.
        Other third parties: If your money has been passed on to another third party there is a risk that you could suffer financial loss if that third party defaults. These third parties will not always be able to keep your money separate from their money. This means that if they become insolvent WealthKernel will only have an unsecured claim against them on your behalf. This means that they might not be able to pay WealthKernel enough money to cover all Customer’s unsecured claims.
    • 7.7
      Your Introducer will notify you as soon as possible should your Account balance fall to the point where the charges are greater than the credits.
    8. EXECUTION-ONLY SERVICE
    • 8.1
      WealthKernel will provide a service with investment options on a non-advised basis(“Execution-only service”).
    • 8.2
      In the provision of the Execution-only service, WealthKernel does not therefore check whether investments you select are suitable or appropriate for you.
    • 8.3
      Any money held in a qualifying money market fund will not be held in accordance with the FCA requirements for holding client money. In accepting these terms you provide consent to the placement of Client Money in a money market fund. These will be held in the same way as custody assets (see Clause 6 above).
    9. Termination of this Agreement
    • 9.1
      WealthKernel will provide a portfolio management service (“Discretionary Management Service”) where WealthKernel will manage your investments on a discretionary basis. This means that WealthKernel will manage investments in your Account in accordance with the investment mandate selected.
    • 9.2
      You will provide your Introducer with personal information so that WealthKernel can first determine if investing using our Discretionary Management Service is suitable for you. If you are unsure or feel that your needs go beyond the scope of the Discretionary Management Service, you should obtain independent financial advice before using our Discretionary Management Service.
    • 9.3
      Any money held in a qualifying money market fund will not be held in accordance with the FCA requirements for holding client money. In accepting these terms you provide consent to the placement of Client Money in a money market fund. These will be held in the same way as custody assets (see Clause 6 above).
    • 9.4
      In the event of WealthKernel’s insolvency your money, by virtue of having been separated from our assets and held in a Client Money account, will not be available to our creditors. However, should a third party with whom your money has been deposited default the following may happen:
      • 1.
        UK bank accounts: If your money has been deposited in a UK bank account it will typically be held in a pooled account with other client’s money. If the third party bank defaults and there is a shortfall that cannot be met, then you may have to share in the loss according to the proportion of the funds attributable to you in the pooled account.
      • 2.
        Non-UK bank accounts: If your money has been deposited in a non-UK bank account you face the same risk of loss as you would for a UK bank account. Additionally the laws of that country might be different from the laws and regulations in the UK. Your money might be less secure and might be treated differently than it would have been treated if it had been held in a UK bank account.
      • 3.
        Money market funds: If your money is held in one or more money market funds it will typically be held in a pooled account with other clients’ money. If the fund(s) default and there is a shortfall, you may have to share in the loss on a pro rata basis. In addition, you may be subject to the laws of the country in which the money market fund is domiciled, which may be different to the laws of the UK.
      • 4.
        Other third parties: If your money has been passed on to another third party there is a risk that you could suffer financial loss if that third party defaults. These third parties will not always be able to keep your money separate from their money. This means that if they become insolvent WealthKernel will only have an unsecured claim against them on your behalf. This means that they might not be able to pay WealthKernel enough money to cover all Customer’s unsecured claims.
    • 9.5
      WealthKernel will provide you through your Introducer with the required information to allow you keep track of the Discretionary Management Service performance.

      • 3.
        WealthKernel has your express instruction not to take measures to facilitate the earliest possible execution of any unexecuted orders in a manner that is easily accessible to other market participants; and
      • 4.
        WealthKernel may aggregate your order with those of other clients. Whilst WealthKernel will act fairly, the effect of this aggregation may work to your disadvantage in relation to a particular order.
    11. VOTING RIGHTS
    • 11.1
      In providing you the Services, WealthKernel may decide at its discretion whether to procure the exercise of any voting rights attaching to your investments.

    12. DIVIDENDS
    • 12.1
      WealthKernel will round all dividend payments to the nearest whole penny with the exception of amounts below £0.005 which will not be credited to your account.

    13. WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC RISKS OF THE PRODUCTS YOU ARE INVESTING IN?
    • 13.1
      Below are set out the general risks involved when investing:
      • 1.
        Insolvency risk: is the risk of losing (part of) the investment when the issuer of the asset defaults.
      • 2.
        Price risk: is the risk of a decline of an investment, mainly influenced by the performance of the issuer of the asset.
      • 3.
        Market fluctuation and volatility: is the risk of losing (part of) the investment due to market circumstances and factors that affect the overall performance of the financial markets.
      • 4.
        Geographic risk: is the risk of losing (part of) the investment due to the political and economic instability of the country in which the company you invested in is established and/or active or where a bond has been issued.
      • 5.
        Inflation and interest rate risk: is the risk that inflation and interest rates undermine the investment returns and cause a decline in purchasing power.
      • 6.
        Liquidity risk: is the risk of limited ability to buy or sell an investment that could lead you to run the risk of being unable to sell your investment or being unable to do so for a reasonable price.
      • 7.
        Currency risk: this risk occurs when you invest in other currencies than GBP, as if the exchange rate of the other currency compared to GBP changes, this will impact the value of your investment.
      • 8.
        Timing risk: this risk occurs when your order is aggregated with other orders and executed during an execution window, as due to the inherent nature of a moving market, it is likely that the execution price will differ from the price at the moment of instructing the order.
      • 9.
        Legal risk: is the risk of legal actions or changes, including those taken by governments or regulators, that undermines the value of an investment, and the ability to sell it.
      • 10.
        Service interruption risk: is the risk of not being able to submit orders or your order being cancelled due to an interruption of the Services caused by a market issue, and external provider or our own systems.

      In addition to the above, below are set out the specific risks of investing in fractional shares:
      • 1.
        Rounding: WealthKernel rounds all fractional holdings to four decimal places. Rounding may also affect your ability to be credited for cash dividends, stock dividends and stock splits. For example, WealthKernel does not credit cash dividends under 0.01 GBP. WealthKernel reserves the right to modify in the future the number of decimal places so that the minimum fractional holding for any investment may increase.
      • 2.
        Transfer of fractional shares: fractional shares are not transferable. If you close your Account, the fractional shares held in your Account will need to be liquidated.
    • 13.3
      In addition to the above, collective investments such as Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) carry their own specific risks that need to be reviewed by you in their Key Information Document.
    • 13.4
      You should also consider that your liability to tax depends on your personal circumstances, and independent advice should be sought if required.
    • 13.5

    3. LEGAL AND REGULATORY INFORMATION
    • 3.1
      WealthKernel is the Operator of the Scheme and the Scheme Administrator.
    • 3.2
      WealthKernel is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for the provision of the Scheme and your SIPP and is entered on the Financial Services Register under firm reference number 723719. We are authorised for the purposes of establishing, operating and winding up a personal pension scheme. Your SIPP is a product regulated by the FCA.
    • 3.3
      The Trustee is the trustee of the Scheme and your SIPP. The Trustee is a non-trading company and is a bare trustee, meaning that its sole role is to act as the trustee of the Scheme and hold the legal title to assets of the Scheme and your SIPP. The Trustee acts only on and in accordance with directions given by us.
    • 3.4
      The assets within your SIPP are held on trust by the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules and are kept separate from assets of WealthKernel.
    • 3.5
      In accordance with the FCA Rules we will classify you as a ‘retail client’. This means you are entitled to the greatest level of protection under the UK regulatory regime. You can ask not to be treated as a retail client, however we retain the right not to accept this request. If you request to be treated as a type of client other than a retail client you will lose various protections afforded to you, including the ability to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and potentially the right to make a claim under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
    • 3.6
      Your SIPP has been established under the Scheme. The Scheme is governed by the Trust Deed and Rules, as amended from time to time, and is a Registered Pension Scheme. The purpose of the Scheme is to provide pension and lump sum benefits to its members and their beneficiaries.
    • 3.7
      We reserve the right to vary from time to time the structure of the Scheme and the way your SIPP is held under the Scheme. Any such amendment, variation or modification of the structure of the Scheme will not amount to an amendment of these Terms.
    • 3.8
      If there are any inconsistencies between these Terms and the Trust Deed and Rules, the Trust Deed and Rules shall prevail.
    4. MEMBERSHIP OF YOUR SIPP
    • 4.1

    • 4.2
      You may not be a Member of the Scheme if you are under the age of 18.
    • 4.3
      Your SIPP has been established for the sole purpose of the provision of pension and lump sum benefits for you and eligible individuals.

    • 5.2
      We will provide such other Services in relation to your SIPP as we may agree with you in writing from time to time (on such terms, including the payment of any additional fees, that we agree with you) or that we are required to provide by law or regulatory requirements.
    • 5.3
      We are not financial advisers and we will not provide nor be under any duty to provide any financial advice as to whether a SIPP is the right product for you, nor will we recommend or advise in connection with your SIPP or the suitability or appropriateness of any actual or proposed investments held under your SIPP or the investment strategy.
    • 5.4
      You should seek advice from a suitably qualified and regulated firm or individual before establishing your SIPP. We recommend you appoint advisers, including a financial adviser and/or investment manager, to advise in connection with your SIPP. You may also require tax, legal or other types of specialist advice. The costs of the advice may normally be met from your Member Fund, however you must not enter into any agreements with advisers or other duly authorised representative where the fees and charges cannot be met by you.
    • 5.5
      For the avoidance of doubt, we will not provide (and shall not be deemed to have given) any financial, investment, legal, tax or other advice in relation to your SIPP or any investments held under your SIPP. Contents on our website, mobile app, any other linked websites or material must not be construed as financial, investment, legal, tax or other advice of any kind.
    6. CONTRIBUTIONS
    • 6.1
      You may personally contribute to your SIPP (subject to them satisfying such client identification checks as we may require from time to time) with single one off or regular payments from your personal bank account. We are currently unable to accept employer contributions. If we notify you in the future that this has changed, the following provisions of this clause 6 will also apply, in particular clause 6.8.
    • 6.2
      By becoming a member of your SIPP and signing the Application Form, you are undertaking to agree that the contributions you pay in any tax year shall not exceed the maximum permitted by the Act and are within allowable limits for tax relief, including the Annual Allowance and the MPAA. We may repay any overpaid tax relief and interest on the overpayment on demand by HMRC from your SIPP without your further authority.
    • 6.3
      We will assume all contributions paid by you are eligible for tax relief and it is your responsibility to let us know if this is incorrect. At our discretion, we may accept contributions that do not qualify for tax relief.
    • 6.4
      For personal contributions which qualify for tax relief (excluding any employer contributions), we will claim basic rate tax relief from HMRC on your behalf monthly, in arrears. It can take between six and eight weeks from the end of the month in which you make the contribution to receive tax relief on your personal contributions from HMRC. Tax relief is not available for investment until it is received by us from HMRC and credited to your SIPP.
    • 6.5
      You will be responsible for claiming any higher or additional rate tax relief from HMRC via your self-assessment tax return. These monies will not be credited to your SIPP.
    • 6.6
      Where contributions are paid by your employer, the employer will make a gross contribution to your SIPP. Your employer will reclaim tax relief directly from HMRC against its own liability to tax. You are not personally entitled to receive tax relief on these contributions. Your employer will be required to provide us with confirmation of any contributions paid on your behalf.
    • 6.7
      You are responsible for ensuring that all contributions are within allowable limits set by HMRC and for the reporting and payment of any tax charges that may be applied if you exceed such limits. You will not receive tax relief on contributions that exceed your UK relevant earnings or which exceed the Annual Allowance. Any amount paid into a Registered Pension Scheme above the Annual Allowance will be subject to a tax charge at your marginal rate. If you have taken benefits under your SIPP or transferred out of your SIPP, you agree to indemnify us and keep us indemnified in relation to any tax due to HMRC as a result of any excess contribution being paid.
    • 6.8
      You will be required to provide to us appropriate documentation (as we may request) to support any contributions made to your SIPP. We reserve the right to reasonably refuse a proposed contribution unless you provide appropriate documentation to support its eligibility.
    • 6.9
      Once a contribution has been accepted, it cannot normally be refunded. HMRC pension rules only permit refunds in very limited circumstances.
    • 6.10
      You should consult a professional adviser if you have any questions regarding contributions to your SIPP. We cannot advise you as to the appropriateness (including any tax consequences) of any contributions made to your SIPP and we shall have no liability in respect of this.
    • 6.11
      If at the time you make a contribution you have applied to HMRC for protection against the Standard Lifetime Allowance, you should take advice before making contributions to your SIPP as this could invalidate your protection and may result in a Lifetime Allowance Charge being levied by HMRC. We will not be liable for any loss in the event of a Lifetime Allowance Charge, nor will we be liable for any other tax charge or loss in respect of contributions to your SIPP.
    • 6.12
      Contributions paid to your SIPP, the benefits that you may draw from your SIPP and the investment strategy that you may choose to follow are all subject to the Trust Deed and Rules, the tax regime under the Act and requirements of HMRC and may change in the future.
    7. BENEFITS
    • We do not currently allow benefit payments from your SIPP. If we notify you in the futurethat this has changed, the following provisions of this clause 7 will apply.
    • 7.1
      The benefits payable from your SIPP are not guaranteed. The amount available to provide benefits at any date will be the amount of your Member Fund, which will depend on a number of factors including (but not limited to):
      • 7.1.1
        the contributions made to your SIPP;
      • 7.1.2
        the market value of the investments and assets held within your Member Fund;
      • 7.1.3
        the returns from the investments;
      • 7.1.4
        the charges, fees, expenses and any taxes deducted; and
      • 7.1.5
        any cost of converting your SIPP investments into an income when you decide to take benefits.
    • 7.2
      We will pay benefits out of your SIPP in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules and applicable HMRC rules and requirements under the Act at the time.
    • 7.3
      Benefits will only be paid in Sterling to a UK bank account in your name or to an account on which you are a joint signatory.
    • 7.4
      At Pension Date you may, subject to the conditions set out in the rest of these Terms and the Trust Deed and Rules, choose from one or more of the following benefits:
      • 7.4.1
        a pension commencement lump sum;
      • 7.4.2
        an annuity;
      • 7.4.3
        pension drawdown;
      • 7.4.4
        Uncrystallised Withdrawals; or
      • 7.4.5
        any other benefits permitted under the Trust Deed and Rules and under the Act.
    • 7.5
      You will normally be eligible to take a portion of your Member Fund as a tax-free lump sum at your Pension Date. Currently this is 25% of the total value of your Member Fund. A different amount may be available if you have Transitional Rights.
    • 7.6
      You can take income in the form of pension drawdown from a drawdown fund created at a Pension Date provided you meet the minimum requirements set out in the Act and regulations under the Act in force. Where you are taking pension drawdown you may also be able to receive a pension commencement lump sum payable from the newly created drawdown fund, with the balance used to provide you with an income.
    • 7.7
      You can use all or part of your Member Fund to set-up flexi-access drawdown. You can take up to 25% of the value tax free and any further withdrawals taken will be taxed at your marginal tax rate in accordance with the tax code we receive from HMRC for you. Subject to HMRC rules, there is no upper or lower limit to how much income you can take from the flexi-access drawdown fund.
    • 7.8
      Uncrystallised Withdrawal is the option to take ad-hoc withdrawals from your Member Fund without the need to set up a drawdown fund. Subject to HMRC rules, 25% of the total withdrawal amount will be tax free and the rest taxable at your marginal income tax rate.
    • 7.9
      You can use some or all of your Member Fund to buy an annuity at Pension Date \ from an annuity provider before or after taking pension drawdown. We will deduct from the annuity purchase price any outstanding charges.
    • 7.10
      When you reach age 75, we, as Scheme Administrator, are required to conduct a Lifetime Allowance test on your Member Fund. In the event of a Lifetime Allowance Charge being payable, we will deduct this amount from your Member Fund and remit it to HMRC.
    • 7.11
      You may have the option of taking the proceeds of your Member Fund as a Serious Ill-Health Lump Sum. The Serious Ill-Health Lump Sum must satisfy the conditions set out in the Trust Deed and Rules and under the Act.
    8. TRANSFERS
    • 8.1
      On your death, benefits will be paid from your SIPP to beneficiaries in accordance with the Trust Deed and Rules and requirements under the Act applicable at the time. We may at our discretion decide who receives the death benefits, taking into account, but not being bound by, any Expression of Wishes.
    • Death before age 75
    • 8.2
      If you die before the age of 75, the following benefits may be payable:
      • 8.2.1
        lump sum death benefit;
      • 8.2.2
        pension; or
      • 8.2.3
        a combination of the above.
    • 8.3
      Subject to applicable law and regulations, we may pay out the total value of your Member Fund and, if applicable, drawdown fund as a lump sum under the Discretionary Trust, unless a person to whom this benefit is to be paid under the Discretionary Trust elects to receive part or all of it as a pension instead.
    • 8.4
      The person to whom we may pay the lump sum death benefit under the Discretionary Trust may use all or part of the Member Fund and, if applicable, drawdown fund to provide a pension by asking us to purchase an annuity from an annuity provider or to make a transfer payment to another Registered Pension Scheme or QROPS to take pension drawdown.
    • Death after age 75
    • 8.5
      The same lump sum and pension benefits are available to your beneficiaries, subject to any lump sum death benefits being taxed and any benefits paid out through a beneficiary drawdown fund and taxed at the beneficiaries’ highest rate of marginal tax.
    • 8.6
      The person to whom we may pay the lump sum death benefit under the Discretionary Trust may use all or part of your drawdown fund to provide a pension by asking us to purchase an annuity from an annuity provider or to pay income to them in the form of flexi-access drawdown (and the relevant provisions of Section 7 will apply as appropriate).
    • 8.7
      In the event of your death, any investments will continue to be held until payments have been made under the Discretionary Trust. During this time, the value of investments may fluctuate and we will not be liable for any loss in the value of your Member Fund due to a fall in the value of the investments between the date of your death and the date of the final payment.
    9. TRANSFERS
    • 9.1
      At your request, we may at our discretion accept a transfer of all or part of your benefits under another Registered Pension Scheme or a recognised overseas pension scheme (ROPS) into your SIPP. Before making a transfer, you may be required to obtain advice from a financial adviser and you will be required to obtain regulated financial advice from a qualified pension transfer specialist for transfers from a scheme with safeguarded benefits, for example final salary schemes (also known as defined benefit occupational pension schemes). We reserve the right to refuse a transfer of all or part of your pension saving under a Registered Pension Scheme or ROPS where the transfer is from a scheme with safeguarded benefits. Neither we nor the Trustee gives or is authorised to give advice, nor do we or the Trustee check your transfer application for suitability.
    • 9.2
      You are responsible for initiating all transfer instructions. We do not accept any responsibility for delays in receiving a transfer. All transfer payments will be held initially in the Cash Asset Line and will then be paid or invested in accordance with your instructions.
    • 9.3
      In-specie transfers from a money purchase pension scheme or a personal pension scheme may be made subject to our approval. You may need to provide further information to assist with the transfer.
    • 9.4
      Subject to our legal obligations, we reserve the right at our discretion to refuse to accept any transfer into your SIPP or to make any transfer out of your SIPP.
    • 9.5
      You can transfer all or part of your SIPP to another Registered Pension Scheme or a QROPS if the transfer satisfies HMRC requirements and where we are satisfied that appropriate and sufficient due diligence has been carried out.
    • 9.6
      If you are only transferring part of your SIPP, you must instruct us which assets to sell before the transfer (unless the transfer is to be made in cash or in specie only). There may be a cost for selling these assets. If it is necessary to sell a property or any other asset, the transfer will be delayed until the property or asset has been sold. If you want to transfer part of your SIPP from which you are taking drawdown pension, that part must be transferred in full to another pension scheme that can provide you with drawdown pension.
    • 9.7
      We may receive small additional payments after you have transferred out all your benefits under your SIPP, for example from a subsequent share dividend payment, or an interest payment. Where possible, we will pay these to the receiving provider or beneficiary after first deducting our fee. If the receiving provider refuses to accept the funds, we will deduct our fee for dealing with this and pay any residue to you, where permitted under HMRC rules, or to another Registered Pension Scheme or QROPS of your choice.
    10. INVESTMENTS
    • 10.1
      You, as the Member of your SIPP, are responsible for selecting the assets and investments of your Member Fund, in conjunction with your financial adviser or your other duly authorised representative if you have appointed one.

Neither the Trustee nor we accept any liability for any decisions relating to the purchase, retention and sale of the investments within your Member Fund.
    • 10.2
      We will arrange investments in accordance with your instructions, subject to the following conditions:
      • 10.2.1
        We will permit any investment to be held under your SIPP that appears on the current Schedule of Allowable Investments, which we may amend from time to time. You will be responsible for ensuring that your investment choices fall within the Schedule of Allowable Investments. You should refer to the current version before making any investment decisions;
      • 10.2.2
        The investment must not constitute or result in an Unauthorised Payment or taxable property charge or an unacceptable liability or risk to us;
      • 10.2.3
        In general, we have sole discretion as to whether any asset can be held under your SIPP and reserve the right to dispose of any assets that:
      • (a)
        are deemed by us to be an unacceptable asset or unlawful;
      • (b)
        would impose tax or other costs on us or expose us to liabilities;
      • (c)
        are no longer a type allowed by HMRC or the FCA or one which could give rise to Unauthorised Payment tax charges; or
      • (d)
        must be disposed of to comply with a court order.
      • In any such event, we will not be liable for loss or costs incurred in disposing of assets;
      • 10.2.4
        You must ensure that there are always sufficient funds available in your SIPP to effect your chosen investment and to cover fees;

      • 10.2.6
        All investments held for your SIPP are to be registered in the Trustee’s name, as trustee of the Scheme, or may be held on the Trustee’s behalf by an investment manager, nominee or third party custodian (being a party that holds investments on behalf of your SIPP). The investments will be designated as an investment of your SIPP.
    • 10.3
      We may from time to time have an approved panel of investment providers, including discretionary fund managers and execution-only providers, who have passed our due diligence requirements and have agreed an application process with us. Where applicable, a list of any such providers is on our website or the mobile app and is subject to change from time to time. We do not endorse the capacity of the investment provider to provide investment services of a particular quality or that meet your particular requirements nor do we endorse their financial or regulatory status. Your adviser should conduct his/her own due diligence before recommending a panel investment provider to you, and if you do not have an adviser, you should make all relevant enquiries yourself before selecting your panel investment provider.
    • 10.4
      We will not be responsible for advice given by an investment manager or any exercise of discretion by an investment manager.
    • 10.5
      Any investment income or capital gains arising from the assets held under your SIPP will, after deduction of costs and any liabilities, be credited to, and form part of, your Member Fund.
    • 10.6
      We may dispose, or direct the investment manager to dispose, of any investment without consultation with you or your prior agreement if:
      • 10.6.1
        in our reasonable opinion, continued retention of such investment would be unlawful or would impose tax or other costs on us or the Trustee or your SIPP or expose us or the Trustee or your SIPP to liabilities which in each case your SIPP may not be able to meet;
      • 10.6.2
        in our reasonable opinion, the investment needs to be disposed of to return any tax or any relevant part of a pension contribution (in accordance with Section 17), to pay costs or liabilities (in accordance with Sections 13 and 16), to meet any tax liability (in accordance with Section 16) or to restore any minimum balance required to be held in the Cash Asset Line;
      • 10.6.3
        the investment is not or is no longer a type allowed by the current Schedule of Allowable Investments;
      • 10.6.4
        disposal of the investment is required by the terms of any applicable agreement, for example a co-ownership agreement;
      • 10.6.5
        required to comply with the terms of a court order; or
      • 10.6.6
        required following your death in order to secure death benefits.
    • 10.7
      Neither we nor the Trustee will be responsible for any loss (including loss of profit) in relation to, or reduction in value of any investment:
      • 10.7.1
        acquired at your request, unless such loss or reduction results from fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence or breach of regulatory duty on our part, or the fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence or breach of regulatory duty of the Trustee or any of our employees or agents;
      • 10.7.2
        not acquired or not disposed of in accordance with our rights under these Terms;
      • 10.7.3
        disposed of in accordance with these Terms, unless such loss or reduction results from fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence or breach of regulatory duty by us, or the fraud, wilful misconduct, negligence or breach of regulatory duty of any of our employees or agents; or
      • 10.7.4
        which results from any action or omission of any nature whatsoever by any investment manager or by any nominee, banker, custodian or other person providing services to any investment manager or to the Trustee or to you or us.
    • 10.8
      Certain investments may result in your SIPP holding Taxable Property either directly or indirectly. Where Taxable Property is held as part of your SIPP, HMRC may apply tax charges on both your SIPP and you personally. If these tax charges arise in respect of an investment purchased for your SIPP, such tax charge will be met by your SIPP or from you personally as the case may be.
    • 10.9
      If any investment transaction is to be carried out between your SIPP and you or any Connected Party, the transaction must take place on arm’s length, commercial market terms and in accordance with any other requirements of HMRC.
    • 10.10
      The assets held under your SIPP will be valued from time to time as required and at frequencies necessary to meet prevailing FCA guidelines in respect of our capital adequacy requirements. Valuations of certain assets will incur valuation fees from third party valuers and we may charge a fee for obtaining valuations. These fees and costs will be settled from your Member Fund.
    10. FEES, CHARGES AND EXPENSES
    • 11.1
      The fees payable to us in respect of your SIPP are set out in our Schedule of Fees, as amended from time to time, which is downloadable from our website or the mobile app. You agree to pay us the fees set out in the Schedule of Fees.

We will give you as much notice as is reasonably practicable of such increases and in accordance with FCA Rules.
    • 11.2
      Our fees will be deducted from your Member Fund in line with our Schedule of Fees as soon as they are incurred or become due. Our fees will be settled from cash in the Cash Asset Line or (if you have one) from your current account. All other costs and liabilities which we are entitled to charge to your SIPP will be deducted from the Cash Asset Line.
    • 11.3
      For the effective operation of your SIPP, we may require a minimum balance in your Cash Asset Line, as appropriate to meet the regular transactions in your SIPP (e.g. drawdown income payments and fees). You must ensure that there are sufficient funds in your Cash Asset Line to meet any expected single or regular payments (including our fees). If there are insufficient funds in your Cash Asset Line to make such payments, including payment of any benefits to you, we may not make the payment.
    • 11.4
      We reserve the right to charge interest from 30 days after the date of a request from us for payment of extra cash or instructions to sell assets held under your SIPP, at a rate of 2% above the base rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc on the balance outstanding. All costs associated with the recovery of the fees will be invoiced to your SIPP.
    • 11.5
      Where we appoint professional advisers or other duly authorised representatives in relation to your SIPP, any agreements will be on such terms as to remuneration, liability or otherwise as we think fit and will include terms:

        allowing us to pay their fees and expenses from your Member Fund, unless you pay them on behalf of your SIPP; and

    12. YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
    • 12.1
      All instructions to us must be made by the secure online facility or via the mobile app. If any instructions are unclear, we may request clarification from you or your financial adviser or your other duly authorised representative before proceeding. We will not be responsible for any losses caused by delays resulting from seeking such clarification.
    • 12.2
      Any notice or communication that we give to you under these Terms will be in writing and sent by email or the secure online facility or via the mobile app. If a communication is sent by email before 5pm on a business day, it will be deemed to be served on that day. Otherwise, a communication sent by email will be deemed to be served on the next business day after it is sent. Any communication which we provide to you is not intended to be relied upon by any third parties.
    • 12.3
      We may cease to give effect to, or (where applicable) continue to give effect to, your instructions in relation to your SIPP if:

If there are any funds that have been transferred into your SIPP from another pension scheme during this period, we will attempt to return these to the transferring pension scheme, however we cannot guarantee that this will be possible because not all pension providers will accept the return of funds. The value of the underlying investments will be returned to the transferring pension scheme, which may be lower than the amount that was originally transferred. We will deduct all reasonable costs and charges incurred in doing this. If the original pension provider will not accept the funds back, we will allow you to transfer out of the SIPP free of charge if you have cancelled the membership within 30 days.

If you have made an investment under your SIPP within the first 30 days, you will receive back the value of the underlying investment, which may be less than the initial amount that you invested. You do not have the right to cancel any investments unless the investment itself has a specific cancellation period.

A notice will be sent to you which will allow you 30 days from the date we make any payment to you to change your mind.

    • The value of your Wealthkernel SIPP and the pension income from it at your chosen pension age cannot be guaranteed as it will depend on future pension transfers, contributions and investment performance up to the point that you start taking your pension income. All investing into stocks and shares products should be regarded as being for the longer-term. The value of your investments can go up and down and you may get back less than you invest.
    • Your pension income, pension commencement lump sum and future transfer values may be lower than shown in the accompanying illustration.
    • This could happen for reasons such as:
      • Changes to annuity rates
      • Investment performance is lower than illustrated
      • You start taking your pension income earlier than your chosen pension age
      • Tax rules changes
      • Charges are higher than shown in the illustration
    • Please note you could suffer a tax liability if contributions are funded from a pension commencement lump sum received from a registered pension scheme.
    • There may be a delay in receiving benefits if some of your investments cannot be sold quickly.
    • You have a right to cancel your Wealthkernel SIPP within the first 30 days. Where you have invested during this period and you exercise your right to cancel then the amount returned will be the amount realised less any costs associated with the investment and subsequent disinvestment.

The Wealthkernel SIPP will not accept any Defined Benefit pensions or safeguarded benefit transfers or any transfers of non-standard assets. For all transfers you are responsible, with the help of a financial adviser if necessary, for ensuring that the transfer of your other benefits and / or assets to the Wealthkernel SIPP is suitable for you.

    • The figures in the above table are based on the following assumptions:
      • Medium annual growth of 2.90%
      • An inflation rate of 2% per year
      • Tenant’s Annual Management charge of 1%, including all fund charges.
      • Retirement at age 67
    • How much pension income will I get?
    • transfer out to do so. However, this type of pension plan usually allows you, once you reach minimum pension age (currently age 55), to draw as much or as little of your income as you like, when you like, along with offering different benefit options as explained under the `Benefits summary’ section below. How much pension income you will get therefore depends on your choices and many variable factors such as income tax, the value of your Wealthkernel SIPP and investment performance.
    • What are the charges?
    • Tenant Name charges you a monthly subscription fee, and an annual management fee which is based on a percentage of the value of your Wealthkernel SIPP and is deducted monthly from your Wealthkernel SIPP. The details of these fees are set out in the Fees Guide which you can find in the Tenant App and on the Tenant website and which you should read alongside this Key Features Document.
    • These fees include the cost of administering your Wealthkernel SIPP which in broad terms covers such things as setting up your Wealthkernel SIPP, the ongoing administration, regulatory reporting and for carrying out certain transactions.
    • Please remember that asset managers may also charge for the purchase, sale and management of the assets held within your SIPP. You should refer to their separate key information documents for details.
    • Contributions
    • How can I contribute to my Wealthkernel SIPP?
    • You can make single one-off or regular contributions to your Wealthkernel SIPP, paid directly from your bank account. We are unable to accept employer contributions. Making regular contributions will help increase the value of your Wealthkernel SIPP (depending on Investment performance) but you are not committed to maintaining them.
    • In the future, you may be able to make contributions through the App. If you choose to stop or decrease the value of your contributions this will reduce the value of your Wealthkernel SIPP at retirement.
    • Contributions can be made by bank transfer, direct debit, or any other method we may advise of from time to time.
    • Are there any minimum contribution limits?
    • The minimum contribution is £1.00 The minimum investment is £1.00.
    • What is the maximum contribution limit for my Wealthkernel SIPP?
    • You are free to contribute as much as you like, subject to the annual HMRC limits.
    • Personal contributions that qualify for tax relief can be paid into your Wealthkernel SIPP. This means you can normally pay up to £3,600 (including tax relief) per year regardless of your employment status, as long as you are resident in the UK.
    • If you have UK earnings chargeable to income tax you can contribute up to 100% of these earnings. However, if your total contributions (including tax relief) to all registered pension schemes exceed an amount known as the Annual Allowance you will be liable for a tax charge on the excess, unless you can use up (carry forward) any left-over annual allowance from the three previous tax years.
    • What is the Annual allowance?
    • Your annual pension contributions on which you can receive tax relief are subject to a maximum amount known as the Annual Allowance, which is set each year by the Government. For the tax year to 5th April 2026, the Annual Allowance is £60,000. The Annual Allowance applies as a total limit across all of your registered pension schemes in a tax year.
    • It covers:
      • Your contributions into pension arrangements in that year.
      • Employer contributions to pension arrangements made in respect of you in that year. 
      • Certain increases in the value of retirement benefits you may have in a defined benefit pension scheme.
    • The Annual Allowance does not include the amount of transfers from other pension arrangements. They do not receive extra tax relief, so there is no upper limit on them. The Annual Allowance does not apply in a tax year in which severe ill-health benefit conditions are met or death occurs.
    • If you are a high earner i.e. have ‘adjusted income’ of over £260,000 and `threshold income’ of over £200,000 then your Annual Allowance will be subject to a tapered reduction of £2 for every £1 of earnings above £260,000 up to £360,000 subject to a minimum annual allowance of £10,000.
    • Do I get tax relief on my contributions?
    • We will claim any basic rate tax relief you are entitled to from HMRC. All personal contributions (whether you are employed or self-employed) are payable net of basic rate tax (20% for 2025/26 tax year).
      • E.g. If you pay a net contribution of £80 then we will reclaim £20 from HMRC and credit this amount to your SIPP once it has been received. This will normally be received within 11 weeks.
    • If you pay income tax at a rate higher than the basic rate, you can claim additional tax relief via your tax return or by contacting HMRC if you don’t complete a tax return.
    • You must tell us within 30 days if you are no longer entitled to tax relief on your contributions.
    • Can I transfer existing pension investments to you?
    • You can transfer your existing pension arrangements into your Wealthkernel SIPP, unless:
      • It is a “Final Salary” or “Defined Benefit” arrangement;
      • It has specific terms that allow you to purchase an annuity or other form of retirement income at a pre-defined or advantageous rate
      • it is subject to a penalty in the form of a reduction in value applied by your existing pension provider if you were to transfer it to your Wealthkernel SIPP.
    • The transfer to your Wealthkernel SIPP will be made by cash or existing stocks and shares; depending on those stocks and shares meeting the requirements of the SIPP rules and of the Wealthkernel Platform.
    • Before transferring your existing pension to the Wealthkernel SIPP, you should consider the following:
      • If you will lose benefits available with your current scheme (e.g. retirement before the age of 55, more than 25% taken as tax-free cash, guaranteed death benefits greater than the value of the pension)
      • Whether your current provider will apply exit penalties or other costs to transfer your pension
      • How the ongoing costs and charges with your current provider compare to ongoing costs and charges with the Wealthkernel SIPP
      • How the investment options with your current provider compare to the investment options available with the Wealthkernel SIPP
      • Potential ‘small pot’ pension benefits such as not triggering the money purchase annual allowance on withdrawal
      • By selling your assets to transfer them, you will be ‘out of the market’ until the money is reinvested, so you could be affected by rises or falls in the market when reinvesting back into stock or units.
    • If you are unsure about how to make this decision, please seek independent financial advice.
    • Can I transfer my Wealthkernel SIPP to another provider?
    • Yes, you can transfer out your Wealthkernel SIPP at any time.
    • You can transfer your Wealthkernel SIPP in the form of cash by selling assets before affecting the transfer. Or you can transfer the assets as they are, providing your new SIPP / Pension manager will accept them.
    • What assets am I able to invest in?
    • All customers can choose between a selection of Plans, available in the Tenant app. You can invest only in the range of funds offered via the Tenant App.
    • What fund information do we provide?
    • We will provide you with a Key Investor Information Document or the Fund fact sheet in addition to a summary of information on the Plan. The KIID provides you with details of the objective, the risk and reward profile, special risk factors and charges associated with the fund you are thinking of investing in. The content and format of a KIID is prescribed by the Financial Conduct Authority. A KIID must be provided to anyone who invests in a mutual fund, such as a OEIC or Unit Trust, prior to investment. Fund managers must produce a KIID for all collective investment schemes. The charges in the KIID are unique to the Fund it represents and do not include Wealthkernel or Wealthkernel SIPP charges.
    • The Fund fact sheet gives you information of the fund, its performance and its underlying holdings.
    • Do I pay tax on the holdings within my Wealthkernel SIPP?
    • Growth in the value of your Wealthkernel SIPP is free of UK income and Capital Gains tax. Dividends received will be paid gross and not be part of your annual dividend allowance and this is the same as any interest received, this will not count towards your personal savings allowance.
    • How do I obtain a valuation of my Wealthkernel SIPP Pension?
    • You can obtain a valuation at any time through the Tenant App.
    • Can I withdraw money from my Wealthkernel SIPP?
    • Only in exceptional circumstances. Your Pension is designed to allow you to grow your pension related savings. Once you are eligible to take payments from your pension you may freely transfer your Pension to any suitable arrangement to manage your retirement income.
    • However, in the case of death or being eligible for an early withdrawal (see below), you may take payments from your Pension.
    • Early withdrawal If you are diagnosed with serious ill-health or a terminal illness that means your life expectancy is less than 12 months, and you have not yet started to take benefits, you can choose to take your pension benefits as a lump sum. Taking your benefits early may affect the value of your benefits. If you take benefits earlier than you originally intended, the level of the benefits you can take may be lower than expected and may not meet your needs in retirement.
    • If you die before age 75 Your Pension’s full cash value will be used to provide benefits for your spouse/civil partner, dependants, family members or other beneficiaries nominated by you for this purpose.
    • The Trustees will decide who will receive benefits at their absolute discretion. However, it will take into account any wishes you have expressed through the completion of a death benefit expression of wish. You may complete a new nomination at any time.
    • A beneficiary can elect to receive their benefit as a lump sum. Alternatively, they may be able to use it to purchase a dependant's annuity, or a Flexi-access dependant's pension with a provider of their choosing.
    • Payments on death are normally free of any income or inheritance tax but we cannot guarantee that this will be the case. You should consult an adviser if you are unsure.
    • Any amount of the fund over your personal Lifetime Allowance may be subject to a tax charge. This will be determined by your personal representatives.
    • If you do not leave a surviving spouse/civil partner or dependants then the value of your fund may be paid to a charity nominated by you for this purpose.
    • Any funds paid to a charity will be exempt from tax. If you die after the age of 75 any subsequent payment of death benefits will not be subject to the Lifetime Allowance.

    • Administration is carried out by Wealthkernel Limited.
    • Is my Pension protected?
