Upcoming buyback deadlines
When selling your shares back to the VCT through Octopus, we recommend submitting your forms as early as possible to avoid missing out. You may still benefit from tax-free dividends and tax-free growth until your shares are sold.
We need to receive your completed forms and share certificate(s) by the deadline below for us to action your request.
| VCT | Deadline | Sale date* |
| AIM VCT | 31 October | 14 November |
| AIM VCT 2 | 31 October | 14 November |
| Titan VCT | TBC | TBC |
| Apollo VCT | 15 November | 4 December |
*Please note, funds are paid out between 5-10 working days from the sale date.
No date confirmed above?
As VCTs are publicly traded companies, they need to announce financial results twice a year. While this is occurring, the VCT is being revalued and is in a ‘closed period’.
If there is no date confirmed above for your VCT, it’s likely that the VCT is closed for buybacks. If you’d like to be notified when the VCT comes out of the closed period and announces its first buyback date, please complete the form below.
Dates may be subject to amendment or cancellation (potentially at short notice), but we can let you know when the expected date is announced.
We’ve set out a summary below of the historical frequency of buyback dates for each VCT. Please note, historic share buyback dates aren’t a guarantee for future dates.
| VCT | Historical share buyback dates |
| Octopus Titan VCT | March – April, October – December |
| Octopus Apollo VCT | April – June, October – December |
| Octopus AIM VCT | Monthly |
| Octopus AIM VCT 2 | Monthly |
Buyback notification request
Please check if there’s a date confirmed above before you submit your notification request. We update this page as soon as new dates are announced. This form is to notify you of the VCT’s first buyback date following a closed period.
