SOCIAL INVESTING

VCTs are a tax efficient way for investors to support and benefit from growth in some of the UK's most dynamic, entrepreneurial and high growth companies.

In the latest Big Debate, our panelists from Daedalus Partners, Future Capital Partners and Puma Investments discussed the Do's and Don'ts of VCTs and EIS.

The government has announced plans to crack down on VCT providers which offer enhanced share buybacks, arguing this is against the spirit of the rules.

Octopus Investments has overhauled the discount policy across its £350m VCT range, reducing the buyback discount to 5% of NAV rather than 10% for investors looking to sell their shares back to the VCT.
