The Foresight Enhanced Inheritance Tax Fund (“Foresight Enhanced IHT”) has been designed to offer investors higher potential returns, whilst benefiting from 100% inheritance tax (IHT) relief on their investment through Business Relief (BR) to improve the chances of successful IHT mitigation.
When you subscribe to the Foresight Enhanced IHT Fund, we will use your money to acquire shares in one or more unquoted trading companies expected to qualify for BR. Once the shares have been held for two years, they should be exempt from IHT.
Historically, BR solutions which invest in unquoted company shares have offered modest returns, targeting 3-4% per annum.
For investors with an appropriate risk profile, Foresight Enhanced IHT targets a higher return of 5-7% per annum that aims to better protect investments from inflation.
Foresight entered the private credit market in 2017 and has since developed a strong track record, committing over £400 million in loan facilities, with no capital write downs or interest write offs across any of the investments to date.
This makes us well placed to manage the underlying assets targeted by Foresight Enhanced IHT and help investors plan successfully for IHT with BR.
Foresight Enhanced IHT is designed to provide investors with 100% IHT relief*, whilst benefiting from access to their investment, should their circumstances change.
Given the IHT relief available on AIM shares will halve to 50% from April 2026, the Fund could be an attractive solution for investors looking for a fast, flexible and effective way to plan for IHT.
*From 6 April 2026, 100% IHT relief will be available on the first £1 million per person of unquoted BR shares, with 50% available thereafter. Shares must be held for at least two years and on death.
Business Relief (BR) was introduced in 1976 by the UK Government. The tax relief provides an incentive to invest in certain types of trading businesses.
When you subscribe to the Foresight Enhanced IHT Fund, we will invest your funds in shares that we expect to qualify for Business Relief. Once you have held your shares for two years, they should be exempt from IHT, provided the shares continue to be held at death.

Charges paid by the investor:
Charges paid by the investee companies:
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.
