Book your place for the Octopus Apollo VCT Webinar on Tuesday 25 June, at 11am.
As you may know, Octopus Apollo VCT is now open for investment, with the fundraise capacity at £20 million. The VCT backs proven businesses that have already brought their product or service to market successfully, with a growing and diversified customer base.
As an investment professional, you’ll know the considerable benefits to your clients of investing in VCTs. But what about the requisite due diligence you need to carry out before you make any recommendations to clients? How do you find out the more detailed information you need about the trust and its approach, in order to decide whether this is a suitable recommendation for your clients?
Here’s an easy way to start the process. During the webinar, the Octopus team – including fund managers – will go into more detail on this and more in their online presentation on Tuesday June 25th at 11am.

- Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
- Tax reliefs depend on the VCT maintaining its VCT-qualifying status.
