The Income & Growth VCT plc

Formerly TriVest VCT plc

Enquiries 020 3206 7099

Welcome to the webpage of The Income and Growth VCT plc. The Company was launched in the 2000/2001 tax year and raised £39.5 million, net of issue costs. In the 2007/2008 tax year, the Company changed its name and launched a new 'S' Share Offer that raised £11.2 million, net of issue costs.

On 1 April 2008 Matrix Private Equity Partners LLP (MPEP) took over the sole mandate for managing the VCT's investments. The move reflects the VCT's increased focus on Management Buy Outs and its move away from technology investments.

The 'O' and 'S' classes of the Company were merged on 29 March 2010.

The Matrix VCT Linked Offer

The second Matrix VCT Linked Offer was launched on 20 January 2012. The Offer for a total of £21 million is to be raised jointly by the VCT together with Matrix Income & Growth VCT plc and Matrix Income & Growth 4 VCT plc.  The total amount of each subscription received will be divided equally between the three VCTs.  I&G VCT is therefore seeking to raise £7 million.  

The Offer will close on 5 April 2012 in respect of the current tax year and on 30 June 2012 in respect of the 2012/13 tax year though it may be extended beyond this date at the Directors’ discretion.

The 2010/11 raised £16.2 million gross across the three VCTs, £5.4 million of which was raised for I&G VCT.

Boiler Room Scams - Shareholder warning

Boiler rooms are high pressure sales firms, often based overseas, that target investors illegally offering them non-tradable, overpriced or even non-existent shares. Alternatively, if you already own shares in a company, you may receive a call from someone offering to buy your shares, usually at a higher price than their market value.   Please click here to read the FSA's advice on boiler room scams.
