Making your investment go further

Article Abstract:

Unit trust personal equity plans (Peps) levy charges such as annual changes and initial charges. They may also charge exit fees, especially when initial charges are low or are not levied.

Investment trusts tend to levy additional charges for commission and marketing expenses and value-added tax is levied on these charges.
