Ingenious VCTs lead the risers in the performance charts
The Ingenious Live and Entertainment VCTs are among the top performing VCTs of their respective launch years, delivering higher total returns to investors than most of their closest rivals [see Notes to Editors], and making these investments a treat for both entertainment lovers and investors alike.
The Ingenious Live 1 and 2 VCTs, which invest in live music events such as Creamfields, Underage and Field Day, ranked first equal in terms of Net Asset Value (NAV) and Total Returns when compared with their closest rivals of the VCTs launched in 2006/7.
The Ingenious Entertainment 1 and 2 VCTs have invested in the hit show Let's Dance, the Rewind Scotland Festival and Golf Live, and came joint second respectively amongst their closest rivals of the VCTs launched in 2007/8.
Paul Bedford, Investment Director at Ingenious, said: "2011 is looking to be one of the most exciting times for investors looking to gain exposure to alternative, off market opportunities in the entertainment sectors. These latest rankings, combined with the strength and popularity of our entertainment portfolios, clearly show Ingenious Entertainment VCTs to be the obvious choice for anyone looking to maximise returns on their investment."
"Ingenious Ventures' twin VCT structure provides investors with a choice of risk profiles, allowing for greater flexibility while delivering both upside potential and significant pre-sale downside protection."
