Blackfinch Spring VCT has released a video series called "Unpacked" to help demystify tax-efficient investments and make them more understandable for clients. The first video in the series provides an overview of Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs), including why they were introduced, the tax reliefs available, and the types of UK companies that benefit from VCT funding. The video also introduces the Blackfinch Spring VCT, discussing the companies it invests in, its dividend potential, the tax reliefs available, and the fees and charges investors can expect to pay. The video also highlights the risks involved with investing in early-stage companies. The video can be watched on YouTube.

Blackfinch Spring VCT is offering "early bird" discounts for investors who invest before the tax year-end. The discounts include a 1.5% discount on VCT applications received by 5pm on January 26, 2024, a 1% discount on applications received by 5pm on April 3, 2024, and an additional 1% discount for existing Blackfinch investors.

Voting is now open for the 2024 Citywire Adviser Choice Awards, where the investment management industry can vote for the Discretionary Fund Manager (DFM) that has excelled over the past year. Blackfinch is encouraging financial advisers, planners, CEOs, paraplanners, and fund selectors to cast their vote.
