Investors call the shots

Article Abstract:

The popularity of unit trust personal equity plans (PEPs) has grown since 1992, when new rules allowed the investment of the full PEP allowance in unit trusts. The Association of Unit Trust and Investment Funds reports that nearly 25 billion pounds sterling is currently invested in unit trust PEPs. Consequently, there is intense competition between providers who are seeking to promote options tailored to specific investor needs.

Performance is not the whole story

Article Abstract:

Investors seeking successful personal equity plans (PEPs) should not disregard past performance tables, although they do not guarantee future prospects. Performance tables should be used to narrow down choices before seeking more information on how performances have been achieved. It is important to choose a fund manager with a successful past performance.
