Although you are no longer able to set up a PEP or invest more money in one, it is possible to transfer an existing PEP to a new fund platform with a better rate of return than you are currently getting, where you can continue to invest your money tax free. This article provides an overview of the PEP transfer process.

PEP Transfers

PEP transfers enable you to switch to different investment funds. Transferring your PEP enables you to get rid of your existing PEP investments and replace them with new better performing ones, whilst still maintaining your tax free status.

Advantages of PEP Transfers

• You can choose new PEP funds to invest in that have a better rate of return than your existing funds
• You can take advantage of new funds that have become available since you set up your PEP
• You can diversify your investment portfolio

PEP Transfers Process

1. Complete a PEP transfer application form and Letters of Authority for each fund manager you want to transfer from.
2. Send the completed form and letters to the company you want to transfer your PEP to.
3. The new PEP company will contact your existing fund companies on your behalf to tell them that you want to transfer your PEP.
