These total returns are stated before the inclusion of VCT tax
reliefs which are designed to mitigate the higher risks and costs associated
with investing in smaller companies and the constraints of the VCT legislation.
The front end income tax reliefs available at the time of subscription were 20
per cent. prior to the end of the 2003/04 tax years, 40 per cent. in the 2004/
05 and 2005/06 tax years and 30 per cent. since then, so any adjusted
performance measure including this relief will vary depending on the date of
subscription. There is the additional benefit of receiving VCT dividends tax
free.
