Ventures investing offers the potential for attractive returns from the UK’s vibrant start-up scene. But start-up investing is risky. It’s vital to invest with the right controls in place to manage that risk. The government have now changed the focus of tax-efficient EIS investment opportunities to put greater emphasis on risk-based investing (as opposed to capital preservation and income). Many EIS providers have been forced to pivot their investment activities to comply with the new regulations. It is essential that managers are investing clients’ money based on appropriate risk management, not just for access to tax reliefs.
At Oxford Capital, we believe the combination of maximising the number of investment opportunities we see, phasing our investment into the best companies as they succeed, mixing clients’ portfolios across more and varied companies and close monitoring and input into their growth plans provides a powerful mix of risk controls. Our clients can be confident that we are accessing start-up companies with high growth potential whilst maintaining strong control of the risks.
