Business
Unicorn AIM VCT plc is a United Kingdom-based venture capital trust that provides shareholders with attractive returns from a diversified portfolio of investments, predominantly in the shares of Alternative Investment Market (AIM) quoted companies; it maintains a steady stream of dividend distributions from income and capital gains generated by the portfolio while ensuring continued qualification as a Venture Capital Trust to deliver associated taxation advantages. The company invests in VCT qualifying companies displaying experienced management teams, products and services supplying growing markets, and sound operational and financial controls; its portfolio spans sectors including technology, healthcare, renewable energy, defence, consumer services, and financial services, with key holdings such as Hasgrove, Cohort, Anpario, Belvoir Group/The Property Franchise Group, and Keywords Studios; at 30 September 2024, the portfolio comprised 79 active VCT qualifying investments valued at approximately £199.4 million in net assets, with AIM-traded holdings at 57.5%, unquoted at 22.0%, fully listed at 9.6%, other funds at 7.0%, and cash at 3.9%. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in London, the company operates primarily in the UK market, targeting high-growth smaller companies; it is managed by Unicorn Asset Management Limited and conducts share buybacks, dividend reinvestments, and fundraising offers to optimise shareholder value. Recent developments include five new VCT qualifying investments totalling £7.5 million and £5.9 million in follow-on investments during the year to 30 September 2024; disposals generating £39.2 million in proceeds and £28.8 million in lifetime capital gains, notably from Mattioli Woods, City Pub Group, and Abcam; a fully subscribed offer for subscription raising £19.5 million net; declaration of special dividends totalling 50.7 pence per share since October 2022, including 11.7 pence from Abcam and planned 6.0 pence from recent realisations; and in November 2025, an agreement for Castik Capital to acquire a majority stake in largest holding Hasgrove, yielding expected net proceeds of £87 million (including £65 million cash), with the company retaining exposure via shares in a new holding company.
