Keeping your pep company
Article Abstract:
Single-company personal equity plans (Peps) are becoming popular accounting for over one in 10 of all Peps sold in the last tax year. Most investors should use their general Pep allowances before considering a single company plan to allow for diversification of shareholdings.
