A Different Approach to VCT Investing
Most VCT managers fish in the same London-centric pond. We don't. For 15 years, we've built deep networks across the North of England and Scotland - giving us access to high-quality deals with less competition and more realistic valuations.
What this means for your clients: A diversified portfolio of 10 carefully selected technology and healthcare companies, backed by a team that's completed 80+ investments. We're part of PXN Group, managing £660m in assets - large enough to provide operational support, focused enough to maintain our discipline.
The VCT targets a 4-6p annual dividend from 2027. Current holdings include Seatfrog (rail upgrades), Street Group (property tech), and AccessPay (financial automation) - real businesses solving real problems.
