Previous VCT offers

Important information - Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) invest in small, early-stage, unlisted companies and are considered high-risk investments. It’s difficult to access your money in the short term and their value can go down as well as up so you could get back less than you put in. VCTs are long-term investments and should only be a consideration for experienced investors with larger portfolios. We suggest they form a small part of a diversified portfolio. This isn’t personal advice, if you’re unsure if VCTs are right for you, please consider taking advice. Tax rules can change, and their benefits depend on your individual circumstances.
