About Tax-Efficient Investment (TEI) Magazine
Tax-Efficient Investment Magazine (TEI) is a sister title of IFA Magazine, bringing financial advisers and their teams all the latest news and views from the world of tax-efficient and early-stage investments. Whether it’s EIS, SEIS, AIM, VCTs or early stage ventures, we’ve got you covered. We also host regular special TEI episodes of our hit IFA Talk podcast series.
Across our website, regular magazines and podcasts, we feature insights from key industry experts exploring the big issues shaping the tax-efficient and early-stage investment landscape; covering details which impact advisers and their clients alike.

Who we are
Editorially, we aim to highlight the value of tax-efficient investments and alternative early-stage investment opportunities. We shine a light on the contribution these types of investments make to society, the economy and business ownership, in addition to the tax advantages for clients who may benefit from having such investments as part of their overall portfolio.
We also focus on the higher risk nature of such investments as well as balancing the need for tax-efficiency along with long term capital growth and/or income which they can deliver.
One of our primary objectives is to support advisers’ technical knowledge of these investments, including raising awareness of the potential benefits – and risks – to their clients.
