Endless portfolio company Hovis Ltd features in the latest British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA) report – Private capital: Building a better economy for the future. Economic growth will play a crucial role in addressing the ongoing cost of living pressures in the UK. It is essential that the advantages of this growth are experienced by individuals and businesses across all regions in the country. The data published in the latest BVCA report demonstrates the different types of private investment that businesses across the UK’s nations and regions benefit from – typically, London and the East of England attract a higher proportion of venture SME investment while other nations and regions were proportionally more attractive to investments into established businesses. This shows that, whilst private equity and venture capital are investing in the businesses of the future, they are also working with our established businesses and smaller firms to enable them to succeed in a changing economy. We are proud of the positive impact we have had in our long history of investing in established British businesses and look forward to working with many more in the future.

Start up investment schemes have been extended by 10 years 👏 This includes: ➤ The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) ➤ The Venture Capital Trust Scheme (VCT) Both of which will now be in place until 5 April 2035. So what does that mean in reality? Here are my key take outs for UK challenger brands: ➜ Life is tough right now for challenger brands, but the UK economy NEEDs consumer brands to succeed in order to grow. This change in legislation recognises and supports that growth. ➜ The schemes are designed to encourage investment in new start up or scale up companies, which will enable a greater number of investors to invest within early stage companies. ➜ As more eyes turn towards the challenger brand community, ensure you have your brand strategy nailed down, your investor pitch decks ready and that you’re 100% clear on your place and the growth potential you can unlock within your category. Thanks for sharing Simon Devonshire OBE --------- If you need some support with insights and data to back up your investor presentations, drop me a DM 📩
Important positive news for the liquidity of UK investment funding into early stage ventures. Press-on: invent; innovate; venture; and invest.

Hambro Perks changes name to Salica Investments Hambro Perks, the international investment firm, announces that it has changed its name to Salica Investments. The name “Salica” combines “Salix” the Latin word for ‘willow’ with “Karpos” the Greek word for ‘fruit’. This new name emphasises the firm’s reliability and developing strength as well as its organic growth potential. Salica Investments was initially founded as an investment firm focusing on the most promising UK start-ups and has subsequently developed into a broader investment management firm, managing a unique set of private market funds investing in equity and debt across complementary sectors, stages, and geographies. Salica Investments embodies the growth trajectory of the company, fusing traditional values with a contemporary investment approach. The new name will be applied across all current and future funds Andrew Wyke, Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to announce our new name. We believe our new branding accurately represents what the firm has achieved so far, as well as our ambition for the future. This is another positive step for the company. Our current funds are performing well and we have made significant distributions from several of our funds in recent months. We recently held a final close on our first UK venture debt fund and a first close on the fourth vintage of our Access Fund, targeting secondary opportunities. We plan to launch a new vintage of our venture capital strategy later in the year along with new products in adjacent markets. Our mission is to deliver consistently strong returns to our investment partners by helping our portfolio companies to fulfil their potential and these new fund launches illustrate how we are achieving this. This is all underpinned by the deep pool of talent we have at the firm and our supportive shareholder and LP base.” #Innovation #Growth #VentureCapital #Investment #PrivateEquity #Startups #GlobalInvestments

In the 2023 calendar year VCTs invested £506 million in new and follow-on investments in small private companies and companies on the AIM. This was a 28% decrease from 2022 when VCTs invested £705 million in new and follow-on investments in private companies and AIM companies. The wider venture capital industry in the UK and Ireland in 2023 suffered a 46% decline in investment (deal activity) to €19.4 billion from €35.6 billion in 2022, according to the PitchBook European Venture Report. Our CEO Richard Stone said: “Last year VCTs’ investment in private companies slowed due to challenging investment conditions. It took time for businesses to adapt to higher interest rates and sluggish economic growth which impacted valuations and deal times. However, VCT investment activity held up better than the broader venture capital industry.” Read the full release and comments from Chris Lewis of Pembroke VCT, Ewan MacKinnon of the Maven VCTs, Malcolm Ferguson of Octopus Titan VCT , Trevor Hope of the Baronsmead VCTs and the Mobeus VCTs, David Hall of the British Smaller Companies VCTs and Peter Dines of the Northern VCTs: https://lnkd.in/eGepviK8 BRITISH SMALLER COMPANIES VCT PLC BRITISH SMALLER COMPANIES VCT2 PLC Baronsmead Venture Trust plc Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc MOBEUS INCOME & GROWTH 4 VCT PLC Maven Capital Partners Gresham House Gresham House Ventures YFM Equity Partners Mercia Ventures NORTHERN VCT MANAGERS LIMITED NORTHERN 3 VCT PLC Annabel Brodie-Smith Nick Britton ACSI Vanessa Booth Juliet Webber #investmentcompanies #investmenttrusts #investing #vcts #venturecapital

The UK is the biggest venture capital market in Europe, and more billion-pound companies are created here than anywhere else. This means investors seeking growth, innovation and entrepreneurship can find it right here in the UK. It’s no surprise, therefore, that VCTs – which make it possible for UK investors to own their own stake in a venture capital portfolio – are going from strength to strength. Read more about how VCTs are giving investors access to UK innovation - https://lnkd.in/eCCwKwCE Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and is subject to change. Tax reliefs depend on the VCT maintaining its qualifying status. #vct #venturecapital #venture #innovation
