Keydata AIM VCT 2
The Keydata AIM VCT 2 plc was the second VCT to bring together the formidable investment management team of Giles Hargreave and Keydata Investment Services, one of the fastest growing asset managers in the UK.
Giles Hargreave leads a team of six highly experienced analysts; George Finlay, Guy Feld, Richard Hallett, Adam Caplan, Mark Chadwick and Oliver Bedford. Giles offers investors huge talent, experience and investment performance that has led him to be recognised as one of the leading small companies fund managers in the asset management industry.
The Investment Strategy of the Fund is to:
- Construct a diversified portfolio of equity investments in small UK based VCT qualifying companies;
- Make targeted non-qualifying equity investments on an opportunistic basis to boost the fund’s performance;
- Invest in a range of other non-qualifying investments such as gilts, other fixed interest securities and bank deposits;
- Remain flexible in its approach, adapting the fund’s position to reflect market conditions; and
- Seek to maximise tax free dividend distributions to Shareholders.
The Investment Manager will not invest in ‘in-house funds’, other unit trusts, investment trusts or hedge funds.
The Keydata AIM VCT 2 launched in December 2006 raised an initial subscription of £4.6 million from 278 investors.
