44 TAX-EFFICIENT INVESTING Steve Godfrey Octopus Investments FOR UK INVESTORS ONLY
45 BEFORE WE START, PLEASE REMEMBER: This financial promotion does not offer investment or tax advice and as the products are not suitable for everyone we recommend you seek independent advice before investing in our products. Your capital is at risk and you may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and any forecast is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change. The availability of tax reliefs also depends on the portfolio companies maintaining their qualifying status. Unquoted investments, those quoted on AIM and VCT shares are likely to have higher volatility and liquidity risk than securities quoted on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. Any views and opinions expressed are subject to change and should not be taken as a recommendation or advice. This advertisement is not a prospectus and investors should only subscribe for VCT shares on the basis of information in the prospectus which can be obtained from This financial promotion has been issued by Octopus Investments Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. 33 Holborn, London EC1N 2HT T:
