PEP up your nest egg

Article Abstract:

A personal equity plan (PEP) can be a flexible, tax-efficient way of investing. However, it is important to select a PEP carefully, as the wrong choice can mean that no benefits are gained. The two basic types of PEP are general PEPs and single-company PEPs. The former is used to invest in unit trusts, shares, corporate bonds, investment trusts or a mixture of these, while the latter invests in the shares of only one company, with the investment limited to 3,000 pounds sterling in each tax year.

The UK is invariably the most expensive country to buy a car in, and a survey by the European Commission has revealed that a Ford Mondeo costs 58% more in the UK than in Spain. The topic is being investigated by the Department of Trade and Industry Select Committee and 'Which?' magazine has provided evidence.
