Advice for Venture Capital Trust Investments
The market today is quite unforgiving, and there’s no guarantee that your investment will keep its original amount. Its value will rise or go down depending on your level of expenditures. So, when it comes to buying VCT, we advise our clients to first subscribe for brand new shares when any trust is introduced. You can get them from an online share account, or from a trusted stockbroker. As you can see, this is just like purchasing ‘normal’ company shares. All in all, make sure that you talk to us if you’re not sure whether to buy Venture Capital Trusts.
