What people said about our 2014/15 EIS report
I thought it worked well as a guide to EIS’s for those entering the market as well as providing valuable statistics to those already active in the market.
I have found this report very useful covering many aspects of EIS. Nice to see statistics and average charges in the report too. I have saved the report for future reference as it will be a useful resource to refresh my knowledge.
Very comprehensive report and user friendly for non specialist investment advisers to give an update on the market direction and issues applying.
An excellent piece of research; something which has been lacking within this area and industry. Since reading, St James’s Place have distributed the report widely through our network as a must-read educational document

Oxford Capital aims to make EIS investments accessible, easy to understand and hassle-free for investors and their financial advisers. The firm has two distinct EIS strategies – Investment in high growth companies from a range of industries and investment in companies which own infrastructure assets. The Oxford Capital Growth EIS portfolio backs established businesses to support their expansion. Oxford Capital builds each investor a portfolio of around 8-10 companies, providing the tax advantages of the EIS whilst mitigating some of the risk of smaller company investments through diversification. The Oxford Capital Infrastructure EIS invests in companies which own and operate infrastructure assets, such as renewable energy installations, earning revenues through long-term contracts. Because the investments are asset-backed, the Infrastructure EIS has a lower risk profile than some other EIS investments.
