I'm looking at chucking a few k into a VCT before April. Nothing I can't afford to lose, looking for 5+ year limited life product to hopefully return something worthwhile considering the tax break.

Already have products from Puma and TriplePoint from the last couple of years, so I'm thinking I should look at a 3rd provider to spread the risk?

Anybody else invest in them?

Thanks.

Yes... Dividend "allowance" maxed hence I'm looking to minimise the tax hit where sensible. Luckily talking much less than other years due to some losses I can offset.

I have seen comments on a few finance forums that for various (differing) reasons the usual choices are no longer as attractive... legislative or new funding cycles or just the reality of letting the tax tail wag the dog.

Might be time for a rethink.
