Investing in the next generation of high-growth businesses, targeting enhanced returns for shareholders

The Gresham House VCTs, formerly known as the Mobeus VCTs, are venture capital trusts that are listed on the London Stock Exchange and invest in diversified portfolios of UK based unquoted companies.

Our investments are selected on the basis of their potential for significant growth. We partner with businesses that have innovative and differentiated products or services and ambitious entrepreneurial management teams, with a focus on consumer, healthcare & education, and B2B sectors.

What are VCTs?

Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) are listed, closed-ended, tax-efficient investment vehicles, designed to give investors exposure to businesses and industries in the early stages of growth.

The UK Government introduced VCTs in 1995 as a way of encouraging investment in Britain’s entrepreneurial businesses and in the 28 years since, they have been instrumental in building and bolstering the UK economy. Potential benefits include:

  • Income tax relief of up to 30% of the subscription amount on new shares (some or all of which investors may have to repay if they sell those shares within five years)
  • Tax-free dividends
  • Tax-free gains on sale of shares (after five years of new shares being issued)

Want to sell back your shares?

In order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the VCT operates a share buyback policy, subject to regulatory and liquidity constraints.

To support this process, Redmayne Bentley LLP, an FCA authorised stockbroker, are able to facilitate the buy back process through a dedicated online form which investors can initiate a sale of their shares back to the VCT.

Use of this service is entirely optional. Investors may instead choose to sell their shares through their existing stockbroker or any other FCA-authorised firm, including execution-only platforms.

For more details, including current buyback pricing and settlement information, please refer to the VCT’s Share Buyback Policy or contact the Company’s administrator.
