Welcome to our final quarterly update of 2022. At Calculus our mission is to support and nurture innovative businesses whilst generating impressive returns for our investors. I am pleased to say, this year, we continued our successful run of profitable exits with the recent sale of hotel bookings software business Avvio, generating a 5.5x return.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
2022 also saw a new product launch – our HMRC approved Knowledge Intensive EIS Fund. Calculus has been investing across knowledge intensive companies in healthcare and technology for over two decades, so this Fund matches our current investment strategy with investor demand for easier tax planning.
Tax benefits depend on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future.
This year we continued to back high growth technology, healthcare and entertainment companies, making 13 investments across these sectors. This month, we invested in Invizius, a healthcare company creating potentially lifesaving products to help reduce complications and high death rates amongst dialysis patients.
In lieu of Christmas cards we have made a donation to Cardboard Citizens.
Best wishes, 
John Glencross, Chief Executive
