🗞️ Our Praetura Investments Partner Sam McArthur recently sat down with Money Marketing to discuss our own VCT launch and the demand among financial advisers. Speaking to reporter Darius McQuaid, Sam highlighted the level of opportunity in the north, the VCT investment structure and even touched on the fact that it’s quite common for financial advisers to invest into VCTs personally before recommending them. As for our own offering, Praetura Growth VCT officially listed on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year and has recently made investments into Manchester-based Access Pay and Nottingham’s Percayso.

🌟 Exciting News: European Commission Greenlights EIS & VCT Extension! The European Commission confirms that it “has decided not to raise objections” to the extension of the EIS and VCT schemes. The UK authorities conducted an ex-post evaluation of the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and the Venture Capital Trust (VCT) schemes. It demonstrated that these schemes effectively incentivised private investment into targeted companies. The report goes on to state that the schemes were shown to have driven increases in business metrics like turnover, assets, and employment compared to companies that did not receive investment via these schemes. The businesses surveyed indicated that the schemes were crucial for their ability to raise finance.
