Risk Warning

Our investment products may place your capital at risk and the value of them may go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount they invest. Investments in unquoted early stage/small companies and funds that invest in these smaller companies, including but not limited to, the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS), Venture Capital Trusts (VCT), Social Investment Tax Reliefs (SITR) and are high risk and you should not invest unless you can afford total loss or if you are likely to require the capital in the near term since such investments can be difficult to realise.

The tax treatment of the investments depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in future. The availability of tax reliefs depends on the Company invested in maintaining its qualifying status. This information provided on our website is based on our understanding of current taxation law and HM Revenue and Customs practice, which may change in the future. The content of our website is not intended to constitute investment, tax or legal advice. Neither past performance or forecasts are reliable indicators of future results and should not be relied upon. We recommend you seek independent advice before investing in our investment products.

All our products are higher risk investments and there is a significant risk of losing capital. They will not be suitable for all investors. We strongly encourage private investors to seek professional financial advice, before reviewing any of our literature. The VCT, EIS, SEIS, SITR and BR schemes were established by the UK Government to encourage the funding of smaller (and therefore high risk) UK companies. Investment in funds and businesses that qualify under these rules is high-risk and for the long-term. Prospective investors should refer to the detailed risk warnings in the relevant offer documents.

Of note is that past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of any of these investment opportunities and any income derived can rise and fall. Shareholders may get back less than originally invested, even after the tax reliefs are taken into account. There can be no guarantee that any investment objectives will be achieved.

Investment in smaller companies which are unquoted involves a higher degree of risk than investment in larger companies. Furthermore, the market for shares in smaller companies is typically less liquid than that for shares in larger companies, bringing with it potential difficulties in acquiring, valuing and disposing of such shares. The spread between the bid and offer price of shares may be wide and therefore the price used for valuation may not be achievable. Any change of governmental, economic, political, monetary or fiscal policy could materially affect the operation of a company or investment fund and/or its ability to achieve or maintain its tax status.

The information on this website is based on existing legislation. The tax reliefs described are those currently available but may be subject to change. The tax rules or their interpretation in relation to an investment in any of our products or rates of tax may change during the life of an investment. Changes in legislation regarding qualifying holdings and qualifying trades in particular, may limit the number of qualifying investment opportunities and/or reduce the level of returns that would otherwise have been achievable. Any such changes can be retrospective. The value of tax reliefs depends on the personal circumstances and potential investors should consult their own tax advisers before making any investment.
