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.
