VCT Performance & Discounts

Please take into account the following when comparing VCT performance.

  • VCT performance can be erratic from period to period depending on the timing of realisations and flotations
  • Some VCTs have different policies on the revalution of investments. Returns available to shareholders and Net Asset Value Returns are shown below, which can be a more reliable indicator of manager performance.
  • NAV returns are based on the latest published accounts.
  • IRR figures are only calculated for VCTs with at least 3 years of data.
  • The figure shown for Average Return has been derived by Bestinvest by carrying out a Monte Carlo simulation using estimates that we believe are appropriate but is not guaranteed.

Venture Capital Trusts should be regarded as higher risk investments. They are only suitable for UK resident taxpayers who can tolerate higher risk and have a time horizon of greater than five years. Past performance is not an indication of future performance. Share values and income from them may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Owing to the nature of their underlying assets, VCT’s are highly illiquid. Investors should be aware that they may have difficulty, or be unable to realise their shares at levels close to that that reflect the value of the underlying assets. Tax levels and reliefs may change and the availability of tax reliefs will depend on individual circumstances. You should only subscribe for new VCT shares on the basis of the relevant prospectus and must carefully consider the risk warnings contained in that prospectus.
