Take three corporate bond Peps...
Article Abstract:
Corporate bond Peps (CBPs) are fixed interest investments offering superior tax free income, without stock market risks, although they are not risk free. There are more than 50 CBPs, and the higher the yield, the riskier the investment. The two yield percentages to be considered are the running yield and redemption yield. CBP investors should seek a fund offered by a company with established records of fixed interest management, and aim for a quality income.

Article Abstract:
Bonds generally offer fixed returns that do not vary with economic conditions, while equities retain their profit share which should rise in step with prices. Bonds have been given a tax advantage with the reclaim on the interest remaining unchanged at 20%, while tax reclaim on dividends paid by equities will fall to 10%. There has been increased demand for corporate bond Peps, although all corporate bond Peps are in the same fixed interest sector.
