Personal Equity Plan
An investment vehicle formerly used in the United Kingdom to encourage investment by small investors. PEPs could invest in unit trusts, investment trusts, and some other collective investment vehicles on an individual basis. Gains from PEPs were largely tax-free, though these privileges gradually eroded until individual savings accounts replaced PEPs entirely in 1999.
