Investment Objective

The objective of this service is to mitigate inheritance tax liabilities (above the tax-free threshold) after two years by investing in Business Relief (BR) qualifying trades, through unquoted company shares, whilst providing competitive returns with a balance of capital preservation through strong trades which are asset-backed or benefit from secure and predictable revenue streams.

• Energy - 40%
• Asset backed lending - 30%

• Asset backed lending - 20%

Exit Strategy

The minimum amount for withdrawals is £3,000. The Blackfinch IHT Portfolio is intended as a long-term investment. Investments in qualifying companies must be held for at least two years and at the date of death to benefit from the IHT relief. Investments made by Blackfinch IHT Portfolios, are in unquoted companies and therefore are not readily realisable, unlike companies listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Blackfinch should be able to redeem an investment within four weeks, but if it is necessary to institute a share buyback because of unusually large withdrawals then the process could take significantly longer.

Any withdrawal, whether regular, one-off or to facilitate adviser charging or commission payments, will reduce the value of the portfolio, erode future returns and such withdrawals will cease to qualify for BR.
