ProVen VCT Current Share Prices
The current share prices as provided by the London Stock Exchange:
Selling Shares
Shares of a VCT can be bought and sold on the London Stock Exchange via a stockbroker. There is, however, likely to be a very limited secondary market for shares. Investors are reminded that there may be tax implications in respect to selling VCT shares and are therefore advised to consult their independent financial adviser if they have any queries.
Buy Back Policy
ProVen VCT operates a policy of buying back its own shares for cancellation as they become available - subject to maintaining a level of liquidity in the fund which the directors consider appropriate. The VCTs are, however, unable to buy shares directly from shareholders, and so shareholders will need to use a stockbroker. Downing Management Services Limited is able to provide details of closed periods (when the VCTs are prohibited from buying in their own shares) and details of the prices at which the VCTs have bought in shares. Downing can be contacted at Kings Scholars House, 230 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, SW1V 1AU; telephone 020 7416 7780.
