Oxford Capital Estate Planning Service The Oxford Capital Estate Planning Service (OCEPS) can help investors mitigate Inheritance Tax by investing in companies that should qualify for Business Property Relief, subject to the requisite holding period.

OCEPS offers investors ‘flexibility and control’ over their investment. Options include Capital Growth and Income. Target returns range from 3% to 5% p.a., and capital can be accessed within 1-6 months through the sale of shares. If an investor’s circumstances change, they can elect to switch to an alternative, more appropriate, investment option.

Investors in the Estate Planning Service will acquire shares in unquoted holding companies.

These companies will make equity investments in, and loans to, companies which in turn will own and operate revenue-generating assets. Currently the investment strategy is focused on smallscale power generating equipment, property construction and renewable energy assets. Over time, other assets will be added to the portfolio.

Endeavour Ventures Managed Portfolio Service Building on our successful track record in growth EIS investing since 2005, Endeavour’s new Portfolio Service has been designed to provide many of the advantages of a managed EIS fund, but with better flexibility and no initial or annual fees for investors. Total fees are kept low, and clients receive 100% EIS relief on the money we invest.

Endeavour builds each client a diversified portfolio of companies across technology sectors that we know and understand. We focus on enterprise software, property and legal technology related platforms, cloud-based software delivery, workforce management and optimisation, data management platforms, and we have developed expertise in payments, FX and in fintech. We also diversify across stages of development, we seek out companies that are showing increasing customer traction, and many of our investments are into maturing businesses wishing to expand. The number of investments held by a client increases over several years tax years to give optimum diversification.

The objective is to enable clients to consistently benefit from EIS reliefs against tight deadlines while providing a base case return on capital of 1.6x to 2x over a 5 year period. This is against Endeavour’s 12 year audited cash to cash track record of 6.1x cost.

Our investment team understands growth investment complexities and timeframes. We have the right combination of skills for due diligence, investing, assisting and monitoring portfolio companies, and for exiting investments. We know that growth investing requires resilience over a number of years, and therefore forge strong partnerships between management teams and our own team members, that endures throughout the course of the investment cycle and on to exit. The most recent portfolio exit was Blue Prism Group Plc, providing Endeavour’s investors with a return of 150x and securing the EISA’s 2017 Best Exit of the Year.
