12/5/2005 14:56 | you could certainly approach manager asking to be notified when estates are seeking to offload. is that what you mean? Also what is the tax query regarding buying in the secondary market in the quotes bit in the header I may be able to clarify. | benw99 | |
12/5/2005 14:55 | Spin doctor - 19 Jan'02 - 12:18 - 16 of 24 What are ADVFNers up to re: VCTs this year? VCT market is subdued, reflecting low gains to shelter. Several VCTs comment that the price demanded by businesses for a stake is much lower than last year - surprise, surprise. NAVs of all VCTs have fallen, especially those with significant quoted and/or tech exposure. Any underlying growth in "intrinsic value", whatever that is, has been masked through a lack of exit opportunities. No rush to invest this year - all have a good way to go before full subscription. Quester 5, Baronsmead 4, Northern 3, Unicorn AIM and maybe Oxford Tech 3 are where my money's heading - generally well established in the VCT field, decent historical returns, nothing too fancy or focussed. Gartmore looks weak; Pathway has been slated (though treatment looks a bit harsh to me - I won't be investing in it however). This year there are no more conservative, income-seeking VCTs (such as Harvest last year, which failed to make its minimum).

12/5/2005 14:40 | Scam-maker Brown must love this sector. He pushes up tax rates, by tranaparent and stealth measures, they creates a huge tax incentive for a sector (like this). All the scam-merchants and financial-incompeten Tax-avoiding dollars flow in, and the sheep get fleeced. Predicatble, so predictable,and Gord Brown thinks he is encouraging "enterprise" when what he is really doing is making it easy for promotional scam-artists 'orrible! | energyi | |

12/5/2005 14:01 | Good idea or not? ... Money tied up for 3 years plus,in return for tax benefits: Depends on what happens to Capital Values, I suppose- How's the record? Comments from the Old thread: "note... budget 04, tax status changed, 40% income relief, no CGT.." "You get £600 back if you first invest £1000." "Why ever sell a VCT? Just wait for the enormous special tax free divis and reconcile yourself to a possible loss on the capital value of the VCT. Hopefully the divi payments within a 4-6 year period will exceed the original purchase price of the VCT (and remember HMG has put in 60p for every 40p you have put in), if you are a patient type of investor and are a 40% tax payer with CG liabilities, it really is a no-brainer. " "trouble is, the very great majority of vcts have proved to be pretty rubbish at paying out their special divis, but pretty good at seeing their unlisted investments shrink or be written off" "Using the comparative search engine on the Moneyextra site indicates that, over a 3-year timespan, only 4 VCT's have shown any growth at all and over 5 years that only increases to 8 VCT's in total. More to the point, had you chosen one of the 10 worst-performing VCT's you would have lost 60-72% of your investment over 3 years and 40-64% over the past 5 years." " The average performance of the "Top performing" VCT's (according to IC table), is -2.6%.... begs the question what are the worst like ?" There could be some opportunities in buying these cheap in the secondary market after the three year period is complete.

See , at the bottom of the 4th page. The original 5 year minimum was dropped to 3 years (top of 1st page), but I think the "new ordinary shares" bit has been retained." Best to confirm with a tax accountant... "Ive recently noticed several VCT's have been buying back their own shares for cancellation. Not sure if its just started, or ive only just noticed." "An investor dies - executors who have no clue on VCTs attempt to sell a large block of shares. MM refuses to accept the trade which is outside the NMS and then marks them down with an increased spread so that the VCT cannot buy them back within the range they are allowed. Executors go away and think and come back to find that they have to dribble them out to the MM at very low prices. Once they have all been sold the MM marks them up again and narrows the spread. Suggest you watch for a succession of small trades at (possibly) lower and lower prices - wait for the spread to narrow and then think of buying Call me an old cynic - but I have seen this quite often over the years - I don't like it and have talked to a few trusts about this but they don't seem to want to do anything about it.

05/3/2005 21:45 | Spin doctor Thanks for that. Very helpful to my current analysis. Also I wasn't aware of Cavendish, the discounts look very attractive. | valhamos | |
04/3/2005 23:59 | Yep, performance of many VCTs has been poor, for several reasons, but things are looking up. 40% tax relief is a bonus, but many new issues - and some in the 2ndary market - look good and modest risk investments without the upfront tax relief. A bunch of funds have launched this year, many without a track record and destined to be small in size and high on charges, so beware. For buyers of new funds, these have to be considered 5-15 year investments. For dealers in the 2ndary market, as noted above, beware spreads and liquidity. Discounts available on subscription are probably the greatest via Cavendish (www.cavendishonline Quality funds probably include: Generalist: Baronsmead, Close Income and Growth, Electra Kingsway, Matrix Income Specialist: Foresight 2 (tech), Oxford Tech 4 (tech) and Ventus (windmills!) I've not mentioned any AIM funds, as it seems to me that a wall of money hitting AIM from 04/05 and 05/06 VCTs may drive prices way too high on the way in, with the bubble bursting just as funds are seeking a way out. Seems to be some evidence of this the last 3 months, with AIM surging ahead of all other indices. Of course this could play into the hands of non-AIM VCTs seeking an exit over the next couple of years, so my money's staying clear of AIM VCTs this year. | spin doctor | |
28/2/2005 14:30 | Company: FORESIGHT 2 VCT PLC Description: Foresight 2 VCT plc is a Venture Capital Trust ("VCT") that will invest mainly in development stage unquoted UK technology-based companies with the aim of providing a stream of tax free distributions to Investors from trade sales and flotations. Whilst it is important to remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance and may not be repeated, Investors in the first fund advised by VCF, Fleming Ventures Limited, had four times their original investment returned. An initial investment of 100p in their second fund, Foresight Technology VCT plc "O" share fund, has produced a Total Return of 244p before taking account of any tax rebate on the initial investment. This makes the Foresight "O" share fund the best performing of any VCT since its launch. The Foresight "C" share fund is still at the investing stage and although it is showing a negative return to date, VCF is optimistic about its prospects.* The 2004 Finance Act increased the up-front income tax relief available to individuals investing in a VCT from 20% to 40%, making VCTs one of the more tax efficient investment products available to UK investors. By obtaining VCT status, Foresight 2 will enable an Investor who pays income tax to receive up to 40% of his or her investment back in the form of an income tax rebate. The minimum investment in Foresight 2 VCT is £2,500 and you will find the application form on page 25 of the prospectus. Sector: Investment Companies Market: Main Minimum Investment: £2500 Closing Date: 5 April 2005 | currypasty | |
26/2/2005 14:11 | indeed, tax relief will not be given for any losses arising on disposal | hooo flungdung | |
26/2/2005 13:56 | #120 "to clarify - no cgt to pay on any uplift in value from sale of vct shares whether bought as part of a new issue or in 'second hand' market." And, I suspect, that you cannot use losses to reduce CGT incurred elsewhere. | david77 |
