Property vs. venture capital trusts

[Ripper]

I wondered if anyone had any experience in investing in to either of these two methods and would share their experiences? Particularly VCTs. Imagine you had a large sum of money you had fortunately inherited to throw down, which would you choose and why?

Currently weighing up which option to pursue and having spoken to a financial advisor he has suggested VCTs are a more savvy option given the savings you can make on tax predominantly, but I’m interested in hearing from those with experience of previous investment. It’s easy to find examples of people’s experience with property but not so easy on the VCT front. Therefore if anyone had any experience of them please share!

 

[Scrutinize]

Are you looking for long term index linked annual roi as dividend or a % of profit at exit?

Advantage of a vct rather than hwi in a single op is risk share and independent wm.

Depending on the vct market your yield will vary as does risk profile.

Avoid commercial re at the moment if looking for short term hv yield.
