FAQs

Common Questions

Do I need FCA authorisation to manage a fund?

It depends on the fund type, strategy, and investor base. Many managers need at least FCA registration; full authorisation is required for UCITS and other regulated products.

What is the difference between a VCT and an EIS fund?

VCTs are listed investment companies offering tax relief to retail investors. EIS funds are unquoted vehicles enabling investors to claim income tax and CGT relief. We advise on both structures.
