Why invest in an AiM VCT?
The Alternative Investment Market (AiM) was established to provide a specialist market for smaller, growth orientated companies seeking access to equity capital for expansion. The AiM market has many advantages over the main market, these include lower initial listing costs, lower ongoing regulatory costs and greater tax benefits for investors. It is normally accepted that smaller companies, over time, have the capability to increase their value relatively more than their larger counterparts. A Venture Capital Trust not only provides investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to smaller, unquoted companies, but it also provides certain tax reliefs for its investors.
