Objective
The Company’s objective is to provide long-term tax-free returns to investors through a combination of dividend yield and capital growth, by investing primarily in unquoted UK businesses which meet the Manager’s key criteria of good growth potential, strong management and potential to generate cash in the medium to long term. The Directors intend that the long-term disposition of the Company’s assets will be approximately 80% in a portfolio of VCT-qualifying unquoted and AIM-quoted investments and 20% in other investments selected with a view to producing an enhanced return while avoiding undue capital volatility, to provide a reserve of liquidity which will maximise the Company’s flexibility as to the timing of investment acquisitions and disposals, dividend payments and share buy-backs.
