I prefer to buy in the Market at 143P than be ripped off at 168P with new shares. I know you get 30% of the cost back in tax relief but it still rankles. I still get the dividends tax free , and I don't have restrictions on selling and only a 2p spread

Mf, I tend to agree about the discount here. Some of my other Aim VCTs are quite active in managing the discount c 5%. I take the view that over the next 5 years Unicorn will become more active here and if not we will ask some questions. Topped up again recently. Amongst AIM VCTs I hold Hargreaves Hale, Octopus, Amati, and feel the need to cover the field.

One doesn't plan to actually sell most VCTs in the market. Exit is via dividends, tenders or planned winding ups.I tend to reinvest such proceeds back into new VCTs; on and on and on.....

I'm tempted, though don't like the discount to NAV it trades at. Surely you out in £1,000 and it instantly becomes £850, wiping out half the upfront tax advantage. But I'm still tempted!

Anyone else investing into this. Think it's a great place to put some cash for 5 or 6 years.
