I have a few old VCTs. Note the charges tend to be high and when saying how well they have performed to date they sometimes include your tax relief in the growth figures which annoys me. Also the market is illiquid so you many struggle to get the current price when you come to sell. I haven't bought any recently. I am not ruling it out but there are safer, simpler options that need filling first.

thanks for the info.  that is very helpful.

Yes it annoys me too.  It may be part of my return but it is not any part of the VCT's performance
