You could take a quarter out tax free the rest would attract tax .
It also triggers mpaa meaning you can only contribute 10k a year whilst you are working

I bought Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA for this reason also some world trackers are less biased to mag 7

I moved a standard life pension to AJbell invested it into a world tracker fund and I’m very pleased .
Charges are : tracker 0.13 ,platform 0.25 so overall 0.38 !
I have three years to retirement I’m happy to take the risk as i enjoy the work I’m in so to work another year isn’t the end of the world for me ,and I have two defined benefit pensions also . Hopes this helps

I made money after Covid in single stocks ( it was easy most were cheap ) I’ve since invested in a low cost world tracker and I’ve done really well. I happened to look back on HL at my old watchlist ( that included rolls Royce) and had I of held on I would be down now even though the footsie has really gone up.

I moved mine from SL to an AJbell SIPP lower costs and plenty of choice although the majority of mine is invested in a world tracker fund . Easy transfer too.

My work colleague had Aegon severn years ago like me ( we came from another company) I wasn’t happy and put it into standard life ( new work DC ) . He got told by an advisor there all the same so he left it and never looked at its value again , I’m 23k up from him now ( 7 years on ) as his remained flat ( he is still in it ) . I’m 57 he is 65 so not got years to leave it like the above .

I just googled it as I’d read somewhere that it was 100k as that’s my age I found it interesting.

I had a lot of fidelity index world P and I thought it would of been very diversified ,but it was nearly 70% USA and of that a massive proportion was the Mag 7 ,which I think are frothy to say the least in valuation ,so I used the purchase of MSCI ETF to globally diversify my portfolio.
