These include 30% Income Tax Relief and exemption from Capital Gains Tax, if shares are held for three years.

Investing in early-stage businesses involves risks, including illiquidity, lack of dividends, loss of investment and dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Kemeny Capital is targeted at investors who are sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks. Tax relief depends on an individual’s circumstances and may change in the future. In addition, the availability of tax relief depends on the company invested in maintaining its qualifying status. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. You should not rely on any past performance as a guarantee of future investment performance.
