Albion Capital launches new £50 million VCT fundraise

The top up offers will be across our six venture capital trusts (VCTs). The funds raised will be deployed to a strong pipeline of exciting new opportunities and help propel growth from ‘rising stars’ within the existing portfolio of high-growth UK businesses.

Following our fundraise of £96.5m earlier this year, the new offers reflect our business’s continued objective of delivering sustainable growth and new investments across its target sectors of healthcare and B2B mission critical software.

Will Fraser-Allen, Managing Partner at Albion Capital, said: 

Since the pandemic we have witnessed the emergence of a raft of ambitious UK companies that require additional funding to accelerate their growth. 2022 has proved to be Albion’s busiest investment year ever and this new fundraise demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting these ambitious and  innovative entrepreneurs. We believe VCTs make a compelling investment case in current market conditions. Their long-term investment horizon gives time to weather challenging times and can help investors access companies in sectors that can still thrive at a time when growth elsewhere is elusive. 

We have seen dramatic digital adoption in recent years, but there appears to be no slowing down of investment opportunities. We aim to continue providing a patient source of capital to UK companies who are at the forefront of this ongoing digital revolution.
