    For small caps I'd prefer an investment trust - no liquidity problems. Aberforth?

    Woodford Patient Capital ?

    Or the fact that there will initially be quite a lot of the money NOT in start ups, may count against it. Maybe in a year or two ?

    Is this actually small cap or micro or nano? I know the aim for the trust, but are there any formal definitions of 'small' in this context?

    I think this is very different than the sort of funds we are talking about in this thread. It's a very niche Trust and will consist of mostly early stage and unquoted companies, so somewhere in the venture capital / private equity space, and will have a tech / biotech focus.
