How does the Blackfinch Spring Venture Capital Trust (VCT) manage investment risk?
Risk is managed through diversification, rigorous due diligence and ongoing portfolio oversight. The Blackfinch Spring VCT invests across a diversified portfolio of growth-stage, technology-enabled companies, helping to reduce reliance on the performance of any single investment.
Before investing, each company undergoes a detailed assessment, including commercial, financial and technical due diligence, alongside an independent review of VCT qualification. Every investment must be approved by the Investment Committee.
Following investment, the team works closely with portfolio companies through regular monitoring, board observation and support from its network of experienced Venture Partners. While these measures are designed to help manage risk, investments remain high risk and capital is at risk.
