Overview
Overview
The Foresight Inheritance Tax Fund was established to provide a straightforward approach to estate planning. Investments in the Foresight Inheritance Tax Fund can be made through the Foresight ITS and/or the Foresight Accelerated ITS.
What is the Foresight Accelerated Inheritance Tax Solution?
The Foresight Accelerated Inheritance Tax Solution (“Foresight AITS”) uniquely blends Business Relief (BR) and life insurance, giving investors immediate inheritance tax (IHT) mitigation. Since Foresight AITS was launched in 2016, over £300 million has been invested, with 99% of claims having been successful.
How does it work?
The innovative solution works by investing in shares that should qualify for BR, which renders shares exempt from IHT after being held for two years. The integrated Insurance Cover is designed to give additional peace of mind during this initial two-year period.

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. Foresight Inheritance Tax Solution (“ITS”), Accelerated Inheritance Tax Solution (“AITS”) and Enhanced Inheritance Tax Fund (“EITS”) 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 investee companies continuing to qualify for Business Property Relief and investors’ individual circumstances. Current tax rules are subject to change. A failure to meet the BPR qualifying requirements could result in the investments losing their inheritance tax exempt status, resulting in adverse tax consequences for investors.
AITS is a part of the ITS Fund and is an integrated Business Relief and insurance solution that gives investors immediate inheritance tax mitigation. For investment in the AITS Fund, insurance cover is only available to investors who meet the eligibility criteria for the relevant Insurance Category. Failure to meet such criteria or a misrepresentation in the eligibility declaration could result in the Insurer refusing to settle an investor’s claim under the Insurance Policy.
Investors should only invest in ITS, AITS and EITS 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.
