Since the current team took on the management of Aberdeen's VCTs in 2004, our dual approach of investing in both high-growth private companies and AIM listed companies, has helped achieve consistent and improved performance. We have extensive investment and portfolio management teams, across a UK-wide network, who have been exceptionally busy in 2007-08 as a result of our ability to access a high level of potential investments on behalf of shareholders. The result is a range of VCTs offering asset diversification and valuable yields.
