Deepbridge Capital's Andrew Aldridge, Partner & Chief of Marketing has recently been featured in Professional Adviser's article where he speaks on deciding what to do to help protect client's wealth being the conundrum of the year as inflation spikes.

Andrew Aldridge, Partner & Chief of Marketing commented:

"As the UK reports inflation rates of 9% to 10% deciding what advisers can be doing to help protect their clients' wealth is the conundrum of the year. 

We've seen the likes of gold, emerging equities and residential property mooted as possible inflation-proof opportunities to consider within portfolios, but perhaps the real consideration for targeting long-term above inflation growth is venture capital.

Venture capital investing is of course to be considered as high risk, but if introduced to well-diversified portfolios then it can be effective without overstretching the total portfolio's risk level.  In the UK we also have a unique and world-leading incentive to consider VC investments, that being the Enterprise Investment Scheme (or EIS).

EIS was introduced back in the nineties with the intention of supporting early-stage companies to attract private funding.  It is now widely regarded as one of the leading tax incentive schemes in the world, with a PWC report for the EU rating EIS as the second best scheme in the world, ranked only behind it's younger sibling the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)."
