Key risks to keep in mind:
  • The value of an investment in the Octopus Titan VCT, and any income from it, can fall as well as rise. Investors may not get back the full amount they invest.
  • Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in the future.  
  • Tax reliefs depend on the VCT maintaining its VCT-qualifying status.  
  • VCT shares are by their nature high risk, their share price may be volatile and they may be hard to sell.
