PEP with a guarantee
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LEGAL & GENERAL is marketing a new 'Guarantee PEP' that cannot fall in value below the initial capital investment.
It says the scheme provides investors with reassurance that their capital is safe while allowing them to benefit from a tax- free investment in its UK Recovery Trust. The guarantee runs for five years and on the fifth anniversary, if the PEP's value is less than the original investment, L&G will make up the difference.
Investors may then remain invested and pick up any subsequent rise. They are also free to cash in at any time without penalty in the first five years or subsequently if they wish to take a profit or if circumstances change.
