Venture Investment Partners Ltd ('VIP') is keen to develop its network of high net worth and sophisticated investors interested in making investments in venture capital opportunities. VIP therefore welcomes approaches from investors who can be treated as 'Intermediate Customers' for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ('FSMA').
To be treated as an 'Intermediate Customer', an investor must be either a 'High Net Worth Investor' or a 'Sophisticated Investor' and must accept that he or she will lose protections normally afforded to 'Private Investors'. Investors must also be accepted as being 'Experienced Investors' and will be required to undergo appropriate 'Money-Laundering' checks by VIP. VIP is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority ('FSA') and these check are required for VIP to meet its obligations to the FSA.
It is expected that investors will wish to build a small portfolio of investments in unquoted companies. They are likely to invest between £10,000 and £500,000 into any one investment, although some investors will want to invest larger sums. The minimum first time investment into a new opportunity is set at £10,000. There is no upper limit.
Please note that investments in small and medium sized companies are high-risk investments and investors may lose some or all of their investment. Investment in such companies should only be undertaken by Investors who understand the risks they are entering into. Please see section on RISK FACTORS.
