Suffolk Life has reported business passing the milestone of £6 billion in assets under administration in September.
The average fund size of Suffolk Life Sipps exceeds £300,000, a number that continues to steadily increase, says the company which is part of L&G.
Will Self, Suffolk Life's managing director, said: "Broadening our proposition beyond the traditional bespoke Sipp market has provided a strong foundation to meet the challenges ahead, including the highly anticipated outcome of CP12/33 expected to be published by the FCA next month.
"The business remains strongly capitalised in preparation and is on course to improve on our record-setting 2012."
Greg Kingston, head of marketing & proposition, added: "Recent surveys have revealed the bespoke Sipp market is in a state of – limited growth with many operators reporting their books contain in excess of 40 per cent non-standard assets and some seemingly unaware of where they stand. Those are higher risk businesses, as advisers' due diligence checks will show."

Despite holding nearly 3,000 commercial properties, less than 20 per cent of Suffolk Life's book is invested in non-standard assets. Property represents the largest non-standard asset class (12 per cent of overall assets), followed by fixed term deposits (2 per cent of overall assets).
Mr Kingston concluded: "The timing of the recent FCA announcement of a further Thematic Review of Sipp operators is sensible and should tie in well with the outcome of CP12/33, expected next month."
