An attractive option for income seekers
Article Abstract:
Corporate bond personal equity plans (Peps) offer tax advantages for UK investors. Investors who require an income over the short term find such Peps offer advantages over Tessas and Peps are available to suit different risk levels. Capital value may fall rather than grow, and is not likely to grow as rapidly as it could through investing in shares. Pensioners are not likely to be so concerned about capital growth, but younger investors may be better suited to equity Peps.

Unique guide to pepable bonds
Article Abstract:
It is difficult for UK investors to obtain information on qualifying bonds for personal equity pkans (Peps). Bonds can be held in a self-select Pep and this route is useful for investors needing an immediate income on a regular basis. Blue chip bonds held to maturity represent a safe route for investors. Buying bonds in larger chunks reduces costs. Some brokers do not permit investors to hold bonds in self-select Peps, and some may not permit Eurosterling bonds to be held.

Rewards may be high, but what about the risk?
Article Abstract:
UK corporate bond personal equity plans (Peps) can be assessed for two types of risk, creidt ratings related to assets and other factors, and secondly market risk. Credit risk may be boosted by managers to enhance yields. Maturity dates affect risk levels in terms of interest rate changes and their impact on the price of the bond. The investment style of fund managers affects risk levels as do types of securities and conditions in the market.
