Hey 🇬🇧 🐠,
Has anyone ever invested in an EIS or VCT?
It appears to be very tax efficient and was wondering if any had any experience (returns, good fund manager, ...)to share ?

No direct experience but my question would be have you maxed out your pension contributions? If you want something more personalized perhaps SIPP? ISAs?

Thanks A&M1.
Pension maxed to get company’s contribution. Not keen on doing more for different reasons.
ISA maxed each year.

Fair enough but EIS/VCT are inherently more risky I'd imagine. Pension limit is 40k so I'm sure that could be allocated to more risky investments via SIPP?
