Albion Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) have announced the completion of their £90 million top-up offer, which is now fully subscribed.

Targeted Investments

The capital raised will be deployed into high-growth companies across Albion Capital’s core conviction sectors, including deeptech, healthcare, and B2B software. They provide investors with access to a diversified portfolio of innovative businesses, ranging from early-stage disruptors to established scale-ups.

Portfolio Growth

Over the past five years, the Albion VCTs have raised over £405 million. Over the past three years, 64 per cent of portfolio companies have advanced from the growth stage to the scaleup stage. Notable holdings include Quantexa, the global leader in decision intelligence solutions, Oviva, Europe’s leading digital health company for weight loss, and tem, the AI-powered infrastructure that’s cutting energy costs for businesses.

Statements

Will Fraser-Allen, Managing Partner at Albion, commented: "Reaching our £90 million hard cap, oversubscribed, reflects the growing recognition investors have that VCTs are one of the most effective ways to back the next generation of UK entrepreneurs, while targeting long-term, tax-efficient returns."

In an environment where tax efficiency and long-term growth are paramount, VCTs continue to offer a compelling proposition for those looking to back British breakthroughs.
