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:
“We are all aware that speech, like chemistry, has a structure. There is a limited set of elements—vowels and consonants—and these are combined to produce words which, in turn, compound into sentences.”
—Roger Brown (b. 1925)
“If I wished to see a mountain or other scenery under the most favorable auspices, I would go to it in foul weather, so as to be there when it cleared up; we are then in the most suitable mood, and nature is most fresh and inspiring. There is no serenity so fair as that which is just established in a tearful eye.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
