FAQs

How do I sell my shares?

What are share buybacks? 

VCTs are considered long term investments. Once the minimum five-year holding period has lapsed, there should be no tax penalties for investors who sell their VCT shares.

The most common way investors sell their Foresight Enterprise VCT shares is through a share buyback.

Share buybacks allow existing Foresight Enterprise VCT shareholders to sell their shares back to the VCT at a small discount* to their Net Asset Value (NAV). The NAV is the combined value of all the assets owned by Foresight Enterprise VCT after deducting the value of its liabilities.

*(approximately 5%, and subject to the buyback policy of the VCT)

When can I participate in a share buyback? 

VCTs are restricted from time to time in trading their own shares. This is known as a closed period as set out in the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and becomes effective prior to the publication of the company year end and interim results.

The closed period for Foresight Enterprise VCT is from 1 January until the announcement of the annual results towards the end of April and from 1 July until the announcement of the interim results towards the end of August/ September.

How do I access the share buyback scheme? 

To simplify the share buyback process, Foresight have partnered with Redmayne Bentley. Please click the button below to be redirected to Redmayne Bentley’s website for more information on how to sell your Foresight Enterprise VCT shares via the share buyback scheme.

Foresight cannot provide investment advice and as a result cannot assess the suitability of any transaction you make. We recommend Shareholders seek advice from a regulated financial adviser.

Important information

Capital is at risk. The value of an investment, and any income from it can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the full amount they invest. Venture Capital Trusts (“VCTs”) should be considered longer-term investments and may be higher risk and more difficult to realise than an investment in listed securities. Investments will be made in small unquoted companies, which carry a higher risk than many other forms of investment. These investments will be illiquid and may expose you to a significant risk of losing all of the money you invest. Tax reliefs are dependent on the VCT maintaining its qualifying status and on investors’ individual circumstances. Current tax rules are subject to change. If a VCT loses its qualifying status, tax advantages will be withdrawn from that point. VCTs usually trade at a discount to their net asset value. 

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Foresight Group LLP does not provide investment, legal, tax or other advice and the information on this website should not be construed as such. We recommend investors seek advice from a regulated financial adviser. 

Investors should only invest in Foresight VCTs on the basis of information contained in the applicable Documentation (including any Brochure, Fund Prospectus, Offer Documents, Key Information Documents and Disclosure Documentation) or Terms and Conditions of Investment as appropriate.
