The recession that began in late 2008 has been cited as the worst since the Great Depression. Taking advantage of these market conditions, Foresight offered private investors a unique and compelling VCT fund which provides shelter from rising taxes as well as the opportunity to profit from the financial downturn.
Foresight Planned Exit VCT raised over £12 million through a “Planned Exit” share issue in 2009 for the 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 tax years.
Key Features included:
- Target of regular tax-free income distributions generated from UK trading companies.
- Proposed 5-6 year capital repayment timetable
- Low cost, lower risk VCT shares.*
- Diversification - including exposure to UK environmental infrastructure
- Government-approved tax wrapper. Full VCT tax benefits:**
* Lower risk- up to 90% loan stock in the portfolio designed to underpin the dividend targets while providing greater downside protection.
** The 30% relief applies to all UK taxpayers on the amount subscribed up to £200,000 in any one tax year. The relief is retained provided that shares in a VCT are held for 5 years, subject to the VCTs retaining their status.
