Blackfinch Spring VCT PLC has released a new video in their "Behind the Scenes" series, focusing on Forestry Investing, the newest asset class in the Blackfinch Adapt IHT Service. The video provides valuable insights into forestry investing, including the selection of commercially viable forests, the importance of location and accessibility, and how forestry contributes to their Inheritance Tax (IHT) strategy. The series is designed as a tool for advisers to use in client conversations, offering a deeper understanding of the considerations and questions involved in forestry investing.
Blackfinch's IHT solution leverages Business Relief (BR) to offer a faster path to IHT exemption, with investments qualifying for up to 100% relief from IHT after just two years, provided they are still held at the time of death. This presents a significant time advantage over traditional gift and trust arrangements, which may take up to seven years to achieve full exemption. The company's expert team of regional Business Development Managers is available to assist advisers with any questions about incorporating forestry investments into their clients' portfolios.
The company emphasizes its commitment to customer service, with advisers choosing and trusting them due to their first-class approach and three-hour service level agreements. However, they also caution that tax reliefs are dependent on individual circumstances and are subject to change. Blackfinch Investments Limited is authorized and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The email also includes a disclaimer about the high-risk nature of the investment and advises recipients to only invest if they are prepared to lose all the money invested.
