Overview
The Foresight Technology EIS Fund represents an exciting opportunity to invest into a portfolio of early-stage companies which are commercialising innovative technologies to address some of the world’s greatest challenges including resource scarcity, aging populations and increasing geopolitical tensions.
Why is it important?
Solutions to these problems require radical technical innovation involving both hardware and software and companies developing them are often referred to as ‘deep technology’ companies.

Important information
Capital is at risk. The value of an investment, and any income from it can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the full amount they invest. Enterprise Investment Schemes (“EIS”) should be considered longer-term investments and may be higher risk and more difficult to realise than an investment in listed securities. Investments will be made in small unquoted companies, which carry a higher risk than many other forms of investment. These investments will be illiquid and may expose you to a significant risk of losing all of the money you invest. Tax reliefs are dependent on investee companies maintaining EIS qualifying status and investors’ individual circumstances. Current tax rules are subject to change.

Investors should only invest in Foresight EIS funds on the basis of information contained in the applicable Documentation (including any Brochure, Fund Prospectus, Offer Documents, Key Information Documents and Disclosure Documentation) or Terms and Conditions of Investment as appropriate.
