Limited Contributions and Suitable Assets
There were two types of PEP:
- A general PEP with an annual allowance of £6,000.
- A single company PEP with an annual allowance of £3,000.
Investments in a general PEP were limited to qualifying collective investments. Qualification was previously defined as an investment that invested at least half of its assets in the UK and was later extended to the European Union. The qualification rule for existing PEPs was removed in 2001.
Single company PEPs could be invested in shares in a single company. Additionally Windfall shares received by members from mutual bodies when they became listed companies could also register the holdings as a PEP.

Famous quotes containing the words limited and/or suitable:
“It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“No one thinks anything silly is suitable when they are an adolescent. Such an enormous share of their own behavior is silly that they lose all proper perspective on silliness, like a baker who is nauseated by the sight of his own eclairs. This provides another good argument for the emerging theory that the best use of cryogenics is to freeze all human beings when they are between the ages of twelve and nineteen.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
