Venture Capital Trusts (VCT) are specialist forms of investment trusts and are investment companies listed, in the main, on the UK  and Channel Islands stock markets.

They benefit from attractive tax incentives because their primary aim is to channel investors funds into start-up and small companies.  Like EIS there is a range of specialist providers that have developed vehicles that provide investors with extensive choice across the spectrum from high risk start-ups to carefully constructed limited-life vehicles with significant risk-cushioning features.  We conduct detailed research on VCT offerings where we feel they would merit the attention of investors.
