The firm said it hoped this would bring the firm in line with what other Sipp firms were providing and would generate positive business.
The firm already offers a SSAS account, flexible retirement account and elite retirement account.
It said: "Like many other industries, the Sipp market on the whole is facing an endless stream of challenges from the regulators, which are on the whole being put in place to protect Sipp investors; this has to be a good thing.
