VCT investors
losing out
According to accountant UHY Hacker Young,
UHY Hacker Young’s tax manager Rob Durrant-Walker said: “Because VCTs invest in smaller companies they are carrying a lot of risk. So far that risk hasn’t meant better returns.
“While the tax breaks they offer are attractive these latest figures demonstrate that their returns are lagging behind private equity returns as a whole.
“The exposure of private equity funds to small companies will vary but on aggregate they will have a greater exposure to more mature and stable companies.”
