"I don't think the person who wrote this email [Ed. Posted in Comment of Day on December 28th and proffering the opinion that it was not possible to hold foreign listed positions in a UK SIPP] is correct that SIPP investments are restricted to UK based companies. I hold foreign stocks in my SIPP & ISA accounts so he/she should probably double check with the relevant authorities. It is possible the restriction comes from his broker rather than the rules."

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this informative email. David wrote to the subscriber in question suggesting that it is possible to hold foreign investments in UK SIPPS and ISAs and we are glad for your corroboration.
