How it started

Foundation

The company was established in 2002 by founder and sole financier Julian Penniston-Hill.

In March 2019, Intelligent Money stopped accepting Defined Benefit pension transfers into its Self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs) over concerns SIPP providers could be held liable for recommendations by advisers.

Tax case loss

In September 2023, Intelligent Money lost an appeal at the Upper Tribunal against HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), in which Intelligent Money argued that Sipp fees are exempt from VAT.
