The Adimpetus EIS Fund 2011 – Be an angel investor from your armchair!

A new tax-efficient Fund has been launched by Finance South East in association with Angels Den and will invest in early stage private companies with high growth potential. The Fund is a tax efficient, diversified and actively managed early stage EIS investment fund,designed to provide investors with a spread of investments that qualify for the tax reliefs available through the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS).

The Fund will help companies to grow, ensuring that they are appropriately backed and will manage them through to the point when another company buys them or they are growing sufficiently fast to consider a listing on the Stock Market. It allows the investor to enjoy the same exposure to companies that wealthier investors follow, but without devoting large amounts of time and money.

The fund will be managed by South East Fund Managers (part of the FSE Group).

Sally Goodsell, Chief Executive, Finance South East said “The Fund is an excellent opportunity to investors registered with Angels Den and/or FSE to take a tax-efficient and portfolio approach to early-stage investment in unquoted UK companies with high growth potential”

Deals will be sourced from a range of sources, but Angels Den will be a key deal sourcing partner and will advise and assist the Fund Manager in sourcing and qualifying investments, as appropriate.

Bill Morrow, founder of Angels Den said: “Being a business angel can be extremely rewarding but to can take up a lot of time and money. This Fund allows the investor to enjoy the same exposure to companies that wealthier investors follow, but without devoting large amounts of time and money and doing it in a tax efficient fashion.”

He added: “now is the perfect time to invest in early stage enterprises where the returns can be exceptionally good.”

The closing date for investments in Adimpetus EIS Fund 2011 is 5 April 2011.
