Key risks of an EIS investment

  • The value of an investment in the Octopus Ventures EIS Service, and any income from it, can fall to nil as well as rise. Investors may not get back the full amount they invest.
  • Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in the future.
  • Tax reliefs depend on portfolio companies maintaining their EIS-qualifying status.
  • EIS shares are by their nature high risk, their share price may be volatile and they may be hard to sell.

EIS investments are not suitable for everyone. We do not offer investment or tax advice.
