We are required to comply with the above
regulations when submitting your application to the VCT provider
/ registrar. If you have not used our service before, to avoid any delay in dealing with your investment
please ensure that when sending your application to us you also
provide appropriate documents as detailed
here.
Existing clients for whom we have previously
arranged investments will not normally need to provide further
evidence as we will already hold appropriate details.
Please note that VCT investments should be
considered as carrying a higher risk than many other
investments.
A VCT must be held for 5 years in order to
qualify for income tax relief, though their nature means that
they should generally be considered as longer term investments
and planning for a 7 to 10 year investment term is more
sensible.
By their nature VCT's are illiquid. They
typically invest in smaller unquoted companies whose failure
rate is often higher than larger companies. It may be difficult
to sell or realise a VCT at a price that reflects the true value
of the underlying assets therefore, and any buy back policies or
promises are likely to be dependent on liquidity and not
guaranteed.
As the initial tax relief is only available
to those investing in newly issued shares there is no
effectively functioning secondary market for VCT investments,
which could potentially make it harder to sell VCT shares.
VCT's are complex investments that should
only be considered suitable for experienced investors. If you
are unsure about whether or not a VCT investment is appropriate
or suitable for you then you should seek independent advice.
