Law firm HowardKennedyFsi has acted as legal adviser and/or sponsor in over 78 per cent of all venture capital trusts (VCTs) launched in the VCT season 2012/13.
Keith Lassman (pictured), partner and head of VCTs, says: “HowardKennedyFsi has had another excellent year in terms of VCT offerings and we are looking forward to 2013. This year has been interesting in terms of the type of funds we are seeing on the market; the Pembroke VCT for example was not only the sole new entrant but illustrates the growing interest in the retail market from institutional fund managers. We are proud to continue dominating the VCT market place as the lead professional adviser in capacity as both law firm and regulated sponsor – a fantastic achievement for all those involved.”
