New-look PEP
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. 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.
