Evidence of the Fund’s successful approach is also demonstrated by our loyal investor base, many of our clients have invested in multiple Calculus Capital EIS Funds as well as our VCT. A large number of our investors are experienced fund managers and investment professionals who have discovered us through recommendations within the industry.
Our long track record of successful exits is down to our talented investment team and the thorough and robust processes they follow.
We execute in depth due diligence of investment opportunities using our experienced investment team and external parties, this process normal takes 4 – 7 months
Our ‘hands on’ approach after investment means we constantly monitor performance and effect change when needed, we usually have a member of the team on the board
Our talented investment team has experience in a diverse range of sectors. The core team has been together for over 10 years and we have since attracted significant talent from top institutions
We always consider exit strategies before we make an investment and our detailed investment agreements are often written with this in mind
Strategy
Our focus is to find and back great management teams working in entrepreneurial companies successfully selling real products and services. These companies will then form part of our VCT and EIS Funds.
We offer capital appreciation with managed risk:
Portfolio of a minimum of five companies for our EIS. Our VCT has a target of 40-50 companies
Targeting entrepreneurial companies with proven management teams
Target IRR of 20%
Typical investment size £2-5 million
Failure rates are typically lower and time to exit is shorter than for start-up investments
Typically hold investments for a period of 4-5 years on average
We benefit from privileged sources of deal flow – a substantial number of investment opportunities come from management teams that we have successfully backed in the past, other sources include our investor base and industry relationships.
