Investment Objective

The Fund intends to invest in a portfolio of high-growth SEIS qualifying companies within the Interactive Entertainment Sector which OVP and the Fund Manager believe have commercially viable, globally appealing projects with strong potential in providing attractive returns to investors over the next three or more years.

In order to mitigate risk, the Fund will take a diverse approach investing in new ‘Original Intellectual Property (“IP”)’, Established IP/Sequels, Licensed IP and Co-Financing opportunities. The Fund will also look for opportunities to develop and market a game on as many different hardware platforms as possible in order to maximize revenue.

Projects could be developed for a range of hardware including tablets, smartphones, PC, console, VR and AR and commercially exploited globally via a mix of digital platforms such as PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, iTunes, Google Play, Steam and physical boxed copies via retail distribution.

Projects and the companies managing them will be carefully chosen through extensive commercial and operational due diligence against a checklist of well proven standards in the computer and video games industry designed to reduce as far as possible the downside risks of product development. The experience of the Investment Adviser and its consultants will also bring detailed consideration of the many other “intangible” factors that affect project valuation. Once chosen, the Investment Adviser and its consultants will help to guide and advise in optimising the creative and commercial success of each Investee Company.

Exit Strategy

The Fund anticipates that the options for investors to exit a Portfolio Company may include the following:

• The acquisition of the intellectual property rights of the Portfolio Company at a price determined by an independent value
• A sale or part sale of the Portfolio Company
• The purchase by the Portfolio Company of shares held by shareholders
• The introduction of new investors (not EIS investors, who must buy new shares) to the Portfolio Company; The reduction of the Portfolio Company’s share capital
• The voluntary liquidation of the Portfolio Company or the sale of the Portfolio Company’s assets and subsequent distribution of proceeds to shareholders.

The Fund Manager may look to exit an investment prior to the end of the SEIS Three Year Period if the growth of the investment has outperformed the market and covers any loss of tax benefit. It may also exit an investment in the event of a trade sale of the investment.
