Questions
Can PEP's be moved to ISA's? When can money be taken out of a PEP? (age or time limits?) What are the tax ramifications of moving and withdrawing? The article should cover these, but I didn't see it. -

Per
WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and
WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition,
WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. Tony(talk)11:04, 22 December 2011 (UTC)reply
Proper noun is being bandied about without proper definition. Why, then, is "single company PEP" not upcased? And "unit trusts"? And "general PEPs"? And "capital gains tax"? Tony(talk)03:48, 24 December 2011 (UTC)reply
I think the definition of proper noun that we have in the lead at
MOS:CAPS is not bad; I don't know of a better definition that will keep WP based on reliable sources. For what reliable sources have to say about PEPs, I recommend
this book search. It shows about 50/50 usage. Since it's not consistently capitalized in sources, we don't capitalize it in WP. Therefor:

Weak support. I think there are more sources capitalizing it than not in the book search linked by Dicklyon (one of the sources that doesn't capitalize it then says the acronym is "Pep", so I don't find that one particularly reliable), but the HMRC site--which I assume is a pretty official word on this sort of thing--doesn't capitalize it.

Requested move 27 October 2019
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Support – A look at
book stats shows that caps are clearly optional, not at all dominant. Clicking through to
uses of "the Personal Equity Plan" shows that the capped uses are dominated by "the Personal Equity Plan Regulations 1989" and similar document names, which juke the stats but don't really contribute to a suggestion the we should cap "personal equity plan".

Support—there is a boundary between proper name and generic noun, and the occasional item, during a particular time range, finds itself sitting on the fence. Here, though close to the fence, this is clearly on the generic side.

Comment: I agree with all in your postscript except
Thrift Savings Plan, which is a proper noun and invariably capitalized as such in the media. I believe there is only one Thrift Savings Plan, as opposed to many options for individual retirement accounts, health savings accounts, etc. Ignatzmice•
