New-look PEP
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.ew-look PEP
Scottish Mutual has launched the first Guaranteed PEP which will offer investors 7.5 per cent on a £6,000 investment held for five and a half years. The PEP will be investing in a new investment trust holding around 70 per cent in high yielding equities and 30 per cent in fixed interest.
The return is equal to 10 per cent gross for a standard rate taxpayer and 12.5 per cent for higher rate taxpayers. Income is available monthly or yearly but rolled-up income could raise the return to 151 per cent over the full life of the PEP. There are no explicit charges and Scottish Amicable makes its money from out-performing its guarantee.
