Volume 1, Issue 8 7th August 1998

Thinking about starting a PEP?  Here’s what the Independent on Sunday said recently.

“The PEP market is well established and (as time runs out for investors) increasingly competitive. Investors who are short of time and want low charges can buy over the internet.

netPEP, which can only be bought on-line, sets low charges.  netPEP is a tracker fund, and sets out to match the FT-SE 100 index to within 0.4 per cent.  The fund, which is run by Barclays Global Investors, offers the usual features, including monthly or lump sum investments.”  The Independent on Sunday 2nd August 1998

Whilst it is generally recognised that Tracker Funds have performed very well, we are delighted to report that netPEP is placed 9th out of over 150 funds in the UK Growth and Income sector over 1 year to 23rd July 1998 ahead of Richard Branson’s Virgin Direct. Source: Standard & Poor’s Micropal

Actively managed funds in the same sector still struggle to justify their high charges.   Only 5 funds in this sector managed to beat the FTSE 100 Index.
