Meet the Manager | The minds behind our VCTs

For professional advisers and paraplanners only. Not to be relied upon by retail clients.

Join us for a conversation with the Lead Fund Managers of Octopus Future Generations VCT, Octopus Apollo VCT and the Octopus AIM VCTs. Hear directly from the people making the investment decisions as they share who they are, how they invest and where they’re finding opportunities, as well as their views on the VCT market today, including any relevant Autumn Budget updates, and how recent reforms are shaping their approach.

With different investment strategies, sectors and styles across the range, we’ll explore where their perspectives align, where they differ and what shapes their investment decisions. Whether your clients are looking for exposure to high-growth private companies, quoted smaller businesses or businesses addressing some of the significant challenges shaping the markets of the future, this is an opportunity to get closer to the thinking behind each VCT.

What we'll cover:

• Different routes to growth: how each VCT approaches investing and the role it could play in a client's portfolio.
• What makes an investment stand out: the qualities and characteristics the managers look for when backing businesses.
• The VCT landscape today: key developments affecting the market and what they could mean for investors.
• Where opportunities are emerging: the sectors, businesses and trends currently capturing the managers' attention.

Some key risks to keep in mind:

• This is a high-risk investment. The value of a VCT investment, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the full amount they invest.
• Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
• Tax reliefs depend on the VCT maintaining its VCT-qualifying status.
• VCT shares are by their nature high risk, their share price may be volatile and they may be hard to sell.
