  • The economic backdrop, how it’s creating opportunities for venture capital, and how VCTs could enhance an investment portfolio.
  • The outlook for venture capital in 2025.

Key risks to bear 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 could fall or rise in value more than other shares listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. They may also be harder to sell.
