Albion Enterprise VCT PLC (AAEV.L) Research

Albion Enterprise VCT PLC functions as a venture capital trust, dedicating its investments to both nascent and more mature businesses. It deliberately avoids sectors such as real estate, financial securities dealing, insurance, banking, and farming. Instead, its primary investment focus is on smaller, privately-owned companies located in the United Kingdom, specifically those within the technology sector (with a strong emphasis on software), pharmaceutical service providers, and the leisure industry. Funding is typically provided through a combination of equity stakes and secured loans that have a maturity period of five years or longer. Crucially, a target company's gross assets must not exceed £15 million ($17.39 million) immediately prior to investment, nor £16 million ($18.55 million) directly afterwards. Furthermore, portfolio businesses cannot have received more than £5 million ($5.80 million) cumulatively from all state-backed risk capital providers, including other VCTs, within the twelve months leading up to any new investment.
