- High-risk, long-term investments with a minimum of £10,000
- Best considered by experienced investors as part of a diversified portfolio
Important information - VCTs differ from most traditional investments because they invest in unlisted or early-stage companies. They’re often more volatile, so rises and falls in value and any income should be expected. They also tend to be harder to sell than traditional investments. As with all investments, you may get back less than you invest. This isn’t personal advice. If you’re unsure if a VCT is right for you, please take financial advice from a qualified adviser.
