Greetings someuwin

I have found similar issues since they changed their site apparently to accommodate mobile phone users.

Personally I try to avoid using a mobile for shares transactions.

Their new site seems to require the most uptodate personal computer software for ease of access, possibly geared to mobile phone investors. When it works well it works very well but as your posts signify, reliability is questionable.

Compare SIPP to another former shell, PPG (Plutus Powergen):



PPG has been popular with retail investors, and quadrupled in a year.

But PPG looks to have significantly bigger risks than SIPP, while having just comparable upside.

The mainstream care home sector has seen strong institutional investor interest recently, and SIPP's more specialised focus looks to be ahead of the curve.
With good scope to build a sizeable property portfolio in this area relatively cheaply, before institutions start bidding prices up.

Moreover, unlike the shares bought by an investment trust, SIPP's investments will not be buyable elsewhere.

And to buy similar investments directly would be financially onerous for most retail investors, and without the liquidity of owning shares in a listed company.

Shares are often temporarily weak near the time of a fundraising, as with SIPP at 19.25p, but that can often present a good buying opportunity, as in this case.

SIPP (currently 19.25p) looks to have attractive potential in both the short, medium and longer terms:

1. SHORT/MEDIUM TERM.

• Strong positive newsflow as the company executes its initial property investment programme during March - June 2016.

• Follow-up company development: larger fundraising(s), and further acquisitions.

• Dividend policy: "The Company is targeting a dividend yield of seven per cent. per annum, and your Board expects to pay the first dividend in Q1 2017."

2. MEDIUM/LONGER TERM.

• Growth in dividends.

• Capital growth: " ... these properties can offer attractive returns on equity and the prospect of medium term capital growth as the chosen specific property category grows and becomes better appreciated by mainstream property investors."

• Move to increased rating as the company grows, develops a track-record in its new sub-sector, and becomes more widely-appreciated by the market.

Shore Capital has raised hundreds of millions of pounds, so they're well-place to deliver the desired future funds for SIPP.

Especially with the resources and tech sectors being avoided by many investors at present due to global market concerns, and people seeking safer, domestic plays.

The aim will doubtless be to 'get bigger fast', to reduce the percentage of fixed costs.

And in the meantime, Puma is waiving some of its fees for 2016 (see section 2.10 of the Circular), and there will be strong positive newsflow.

There's an an ideal size from which a company like this can become a multi-bagger: too small, and fixed costs become too burdensome; whereas too big, and there can be insufficient quality opportunities in a chosen niche.

£10 - £15M. is probably the ideal early-stage starting point, and with more fundraising SIPP looks well-placed to approach or even reach that very quickly.

From the Specialist Investment Properties PLC website ("new website coming soon"):

"SPECIALIST INVESTMENT PROPERTIES PLC Update 25 Feb 2016
(Formerly Hotel Corporation plc)

Business Description and Investing Strategy

Investing Policy

At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 16th September 2015 the Company adopted a new investing Policy. The Investing Policy adopted is for the Company to become an investment property company, acquiring and holding freehold properties (and, in rare cases, long lease-hold properties) in specialised sectors of the property market. The initial and primary focus is to make investments in purpose-build homes for adults with learning difficulties requiring support from carers (for example adults with autism), purpose-built care homes for the elderly and infirm and converted dwellings accommodating young adults/late teens requiring extensive support from social services. The Investing Policy for the Company will also allow it to invest in other specialist areas such as wedding and conference centres, other leisure facilities and, if sufficiently non-mainstream, residential or commercial property.

Specialised Investment Property Sectors

The areas listed above are outside of the classic investment property mainstream of commercial buildings let to businesses of good covenant on full repairing and insuring leases with five yearly upward only rent reviews. However, in many cases they can offer strong long-term security of income streams and, because they are more complex and specialised, offer higher initial yields. In many cases they also offer inflation indexed rents.

The specialist children’s homes sector, which will be the initial investment focus of the Company, is underpinned by the Children and Families Act, which places legal responsibility on local authorities to look after those young people. Local authorities are generally unable to place those with emotional or behavioural difficulties or complex care needs into foster homes and consequently they are placed in care facilities. These facilities are often run by outsourced specialist care providers who require leased residential accommodation. To execute this initial investment focus, the Company has entered into a Joint Venture with a children’s care specialist who will work with the Company to identify assets to purchase, develop relationships with operators and provide expert industry knowledge.

The Board believes that it can acquire and provide as landlord leased properties to these care providers. If acquired on prudent debt/equity gearing ratios, these properties can offer attractive returns on equity and the prospect of medium term capital growth as the chosen specific property category grows and becomes better appreciated by mainstream property investors. The Company intends to limit its leverage to approximately 70 per cent of the total asset value in normal circumstances.

RECENT EVENTS

On 15th January a Circular was sent to all shareholders proposing a Capital Restructuring together with a Placing and Open offer of 12,454,765 New Ordinary Shares at 20 pence per share and the issue of up to 4,151,485 Warrants. At the same time the Company would change its name to Specialist Investment Properties plc to more properly reflect its business.

At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 8th February 2016, resolutions were passed to:

a. consolidate and sub-divide the Companies issued share capital,
b. to sub-divide the Company’s remaining unissued share capital.

A special resolution was also passed to change the Company’s name.

On 23rd February 2016 the Company announced the conclusion of rounds 1 and 2 of the Open Offer. Valid acceptances for 713,142 Open Offer Shares had been received. A further 10,000,000 New Shares would be issued under the Placing. Warrants totalling 3,571,035 will also be issued to Open Offer and Placing Shares.

Following admission for trading on the AIM on 25th February 2015, the Company’s issued share capital will consist of 13,204,095ordinary shares, all with voting rights."

Looks like all sipps will be able to do soon yipeee = more of MY cash under MY control yipeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Anyone know what was decided or when?

10 December 2007 – Protected rights in SIPPs: more choice for pension investors
Consultation begins today on draft regulations which will allow Self Invested Personal Pension Schemes (SIPPs) to hold protected rights.

Existing restrictions preventing SIPPs from holding protected rights are now considered unnecessary - particularly in the light of recent changes which mean SIPPs are regulated by the FSA.

Minister for Pensions Reform Mike O'Brien said:

"This proposed change will give people more freedom to choose where they invest their pension savings.

"It will remove a restriction on SIPP schemes which is no longer necessary and make it easier to transfer funds between schemes"

The consultation runs until 29 February 2008.

Yes, Merchant Investors,but I believe there aren't any more Pension providers who do.

DAVID

You'll find loads of good free information on numerous financial websites regarding the benefits of managing a SIPP. The Investors Chronicle has also published useful articles and supplements on the subject over the past 18months.

Personally I took my employer-financed personal pension away from the PRU some 3.5 yrs ago and have since doubled the capital value whilst maintaining a relatively cautious strategy and a well diversified portfolio.

I do however have a reasonably thorough knowledge of the stockmarket, having had the good fortune to work in "The City" some 35 years ago - albeit rather briefly.

So: 3 things:

1. Only take control of your pension assets if you really believe you have something real to offer to the management of the fund

2. Check with the administrator of your pension scheme whether the rukes of the scheme permit transfer to a SIPP

3. If yes, research and select a preferred SIPP provider. Personally I use Sippdeal; and if I were starting today - would still do so
