Welcome to our second update of 2022. A period which started with the usual tax year end flurry into the Calculus VCT, and ended with our investment team closing three investments within a week in June.
Calculus has completed initial investments into digital workplace safety app, Notify Technology and Jude Law’s Riff Raff Entertainment, whilst completing follow on funding into automatic scheduling company, Rotageek. These investments form part of our diversified VCT portfolio, which has a focus on healthcare, technology and entertainment sectors. The Calculus VCT continues to grow, and we look forward to adding to the portfolio following a successful fundraise, and consistent NAV growth. It is now easier than ever to apply for the VCT using our newly launched online application form.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
Across a multiple number of our EIS Funds we have now fully exited Genedrive, which we most recently invested in 2018. It delivered an average of 2.1x return to investors. This follows a successful spell of exits in the last 12 months ending June 2022 – 6 exits delivering an average 2x return.
If you would like to get in touch with our Investor Relations team to discuss your current portfolio or about making a new investment, they would be very happy to assist; 0207 493 4940/ [email protected]
Best wishes,
John Glencross
