Welcome to our third quarterly update of 2022. This quarter, we are delighted to announce the launch of our HMRC approved Knowledge Intensive EIS Fund, whereby investors in the Fund can take advantage of full tax relief in this tax year (or carry back to 2021/22) making tax planning simpler than ever.
The Calculus Knowledge Intensive EIS Fund will give investors access to a portfolio of high growth, intellectual property rich companies across technology and healthcare. These sectors have remained the pillars of Calculus’ investment strategy for over 20 years.
UK venture capital investing continues to perform as a credible diversifier to public markets and traditional asset classes, and our Calculus EIS Funds and VCT gives investors access to fast growing, exciting sectors across the UK economy. Calculus has been investing in such companies for 23 years and has continued to deliver capital back to investors during numerous economic cycles.
In September we also launched our latest Calculus VCT top-up offer for the 22/23 and 23/24 tax year, on the back of a very successful financial year, which saw the venture portfolio achieve a 16% uplift in value. It also delivered five profitable exits, which continues to drive our strong track record of annual dividends.
Best wishes,
John Glencross, Chief Executive
