Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Article Abstract:

Venture capital investment trusts do not offer United Kingdom investors the tax benefits of venture capital trusts, but they have tended to perform better than other investment trusts. BZW forecasts that they will continue to perform well though there is a wide range of risk among venture capital investment trusts. BZW's recommendations include 3i and Mercury Grosvenor. Thompson Clive is also attractive and has a wide discount, partly because it focuses on high-tech investments. Scottish Value Investment is one company that forecasts a narrowing of Thompson Clive's discount.

Nothing ventured?

Article Abstract:

Venture capital trusts (VCTs) offer tax concessions for UK investors who can avoid income tax and capital gains tax. They have to hold shares in VCTs for five years in order to keep initial incime tax relief. Subscribers tend to wish to retain their tax relief so VCT shares tend not to be traded, but this could change as a secondary market builds up. Risk levels can be reduced by trusts investing a quarter of assets in low-risk investments such as government bonds.
