Amati Aim Vct Share Price (AMAT)

Just when one bad month finishes another one starts with this one. It is relentless, pretty much all the stocks they hold that once were stars have been hammered. Day after day.

Geez so many of the stocks Amati holds have fallen fast. Tristel, Polarean, Maxcyte, Frontier Developments, AB Dynanics, Ilika, even now Keywords is 30% off highs. I know it's a long game but been a rotten 6 months. Maybe timing of new offer will allow people to get in at a better price or maybe the sell off of the small cap tech stocks will continue.

I think I'll sell some in Feb when my 6 months lock in from previous purchase ends, not because I've lost faith, I haven't, but I have quite a few I could "recycle" thus selling and waiting another 6 months seems a sensible move for me.

Yet another top up offer! I took the last one and whilst I love Amati it's definitely been a tough 4 months since then. First was the dive of Polarean, then it was Frontier Developments. Other stock which have done incredibly over the last 5 years have also pulled back less spectacularly, namely Maxcyte, Leaning Technologies and Tristel. Annoying there haven't been many huge winners to offset these, Water Intelligence has still had an incredible year but the gains have petered out too in recent months.
I shouldn't be too surprised or disappointed, many of these companies have done incredibly well in the longer term. More disappointing is the under-performance vs the wider AIM market which has largely held up.
So maybe this new offer is tempting, getting in to Amati at the 180p rather than the 210 mark it was a few months back. Let's see where we are in February. I went in pretty hard with the last top up so can't put too much more in this tax year. Always nervous investing in VCTs too early in the tax year, if for whatever reason I lost my job I would not be able to use the tax benefits so don't really want to go hard on 2022/23 just yet, even this is allowed in the new top up offer.
I was planning on selling some old Amati shares which have had the 5 year mark expire, but doing so would prevent me taking up this offer due to the 6 month rule.

I am meriting that sort of comment with a response.
