Each Company is a Venture Capital Trust (VCT). The venture capital investing regime was established by the UK Government with the intention of encouraging individuals to invest indirectly in a range of small higher-risk trading companies whose shares and securities are not listed on a recognised stock exchange. VCTs open for investment are high risk and for the long term. Your capital is at risk.

Tax related and legislative risks
