Helping you make better-informed investment decisions
We look at what is available currently in VCTs, EIS and SEIS investments – and then we narrow it down.
If we were to pick just a handful of investments of that type today, which would they be? These are our ‘Featured Offers’, marked with a small gold ‘W’ and selected purely based on their investment merit. It is not possible to “buy” a place as a Featured Offer.
We do this to help experienced investors make their own considered investment decisions. It is not a personal recommendation to invest.
If an investment stops being featured, this won’t (in most cases) be because we no longer believe it is a good investment, it will just mean that if we had to pick a handful of options at that time, it wouldn’t be one of them.
How do we arrive at our shortlist?
For all of our investment opportunities, we use a mix of qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis to select our Featured Offers. We look at a range of categories depending on the investment opportunity; however, these usually include manager, investment strategy, process, track record, risk profile, fees and client service.
We update the shortlists regularly. At least twice a year we speak to the manager or management team – in person, by phone or email.
Remember, all of these offers are considered high risk and you should not invest money you cannot afford to lose: capital is at risk. Tax rules can change, and benefits depends on circumstances.
What do we look at?
When selecting which funds to feature, we place particular emphasis on managers’ experience, resources and appeal to investee companies. As a result, we tend to favour well-resourced venture capital teams with a defined investment strategy, supported by specialist expertise.
We like to see funds either acting as a destination for particular types of businesses or offering their portfolio companies wide-ranging support that can appeal to a broad spectrum of founders.
