Core Growth Capital LLP, the Manager of Core VCT I plc, and Electra Partners, the Manager of the Electra Kingsway VCTs, have co-led a total investment of £9 million into Ma Hubbard's Limited. Debt facilities totalling £6 million have been provided by Bank of Scotland.
Core Growth Capital LLP, the Manager of Core VCT I & II plc (the Core VCTs) has announced that it has received funding commitments totalling £10.7 million, making the Core VCTs the most successful launch.
"VCTs are usually associated with high risk, early stage investments, but they need not be," according to Stephen Edwards of Core Growth Capital, the Private Equity specialists. "There are a number of VCTs on the market at the moment, but investors should consider three factors when investing in VCTs: investment approach, distribution policy and management fees."
