Has anyone invested in an EII project/scheme?

Think there is still space in the quintas fund too last I heard. They are up front about the targeted relief of 35%with the new rates

I have no experience with BVP, but just be aware that anything invested in their 2023 fund will have the new EIIS tax rules applied on that investment, so you won't be getting the 40% tax relief

Loosing confidence in these, the more research I do the more I realise very few are seeing lump sums back after 4 years, seems 7 would be average.

Just from experience I've never had to wait 7 years for my return, generally speaking it's been within a few months of the 4 years, in one case I've had the repayment split over 2 years (year 4 & 5). just my experience.

There is a post by sector_000 on page 3 where he/she lists how he/she has done - all individual investments. I have a history going back to 2007 (back then it was BES) except for a couple of years, all repaid as promised to date, a few a little bit slow. I have one current outstanding which should have been repaid by now but I am not overly concerned about it. All of mine have also been individual investments.

There is a slightly worrying post on page 2 by gman1987 about the BVP 2019 fund. While I know nothing about the BVP, Davy, or BDO funds, I'd assume they are all pretty similar.

BVP were turning on the urgency throughout the last couple of weeks, main reason I felt it best to leave it this year as it didn't sit well. Will have to watch this year, see what I missed out.

These "fees" were also a concern, if I go direct versus a broker, it's still 3%. I was told by BVP that the 3% it's used to manage the portfolio, but in the same breath told that if it's a broker, the broker gets the 3% so it's not the truth (or really inaccurate information been provided).

Probably, but it is still a very cheap source of funds for business so I suspect there will be better (non-tax) returns available from next year on, if there aren't I think it will die a death

EIIS needs to pay a decent return to attempt to cover the risk behind such undiversified investments.

I've definitely had some painful hits over the years.

Three med tech, EII options were mentioned today on a Business Post message on my phone. All three are university spin outs: PumpinHeart, AVeta Medical, AuriGen Medical. Videos on sparkcrowdfunding.

Yea got the email, haven't looked into it too much yet but will have a good goo when I get the prospectus. Looks good on the face of it.

Anyone fancy investing in quinns pub (owned by Jay bourke)!? 😮
