Since A-Day (6 April 2006) and more recent legislative changes on 1 October 2008, the majority of the rules surrounding protected rights have been aligned with those of non-protected rights. 

As of March 2010, protected rights can now be pooled with the non-protected rights within the Suffolk Life MasterSIPP (held under Suffolk Life Trustees Limited). This provides reduced administration costs and allows increased flexibility of the investment options for protected rights.
