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.

Consequently, there is intense competition between providers who are seeking to promote options tailored to specific investor needs.
