The VCTs detailed below are those currently available; Hargreaves Lansdown does not necessarily endorse them or suggest they are suitable for you. Some VCTs describe themselves as 'secure' or 'protected'. Investors should note that no VCT is 'secure' or 'protected' in any way. VCTs are higher risk and should only be a consideration for those who can afford to take the risk, their value will fall as well as rise. You should hold them for the long term, but you could still get back less than you invested. Please remember, the value of tax savings will depend on your circumstances and tax rules can change over time.
