The award-winning GrowthInvest Adviser Hour drives education and understanding of tax-efficient and alternative investments, with discussions on the opportunities and challenges that advisers face. First launched in early 2018, and now into its eighth series, the Adviser Hour has transformed the online and educational landscape for financial advisers looking for the latest information and insights on tax efficient and alternative investments.

The record-breaking 21/22 VCT season saw investment break through the £1Bn mark for the first time. The landscape has changed in other ways, with the most popular VCTs filling up in days, or even hours! What does the year ahead hold? Many VCTs have already announced their plans for fund raising in the Autumn: How can advisers ensure that their clients get in their preferred VCTs? Which investment themes are offering long-term opportunities as the economy recovers out of the pandemic?

Topics for the September Episode will include:
  • Predictions for the season ahead
  • Making the right investments in the current market?
  • What advisers should look for in a VCT manager
  • Which clients should be looking at VCTs
  • Outlook for dividend yields
  • The sunset clause and future for VCTs
Alongside long-standing topics such as:
  • Fee Transparency
  • Liquidity
  • Diversification & Risk

We ask a panel of industry experts these key questions and more.

As well as an in-depth exploration of market trends and analysis, we will also be asking the panel a series of questions from Advisers, in our new Adviser Clinic section.

Tune in at 10am on Thursday 22nd September and find out the latest on key industry trends, opportunities, and challenges, and what it looks like to be an adviser at the forefront of tax efficient investments in 2022.
