Calculus Capital

The UK is one of the most successful countries in the world for encouraging entrepreneurialism. The UK government introduced schemes such as the Venture Capital Trust (VCT) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) to encourage private investment into small growing businesses by offering lucrative tax benefits to investors. These benefits are a way to encourage investment into the UKs most exciting small businesses, whilst also recognising it involves more risk than investing in the larger listed companies. Calculus pioneered tax efficient investing through the launch of its first EIS in 1999, and subsequently its VCT. Calculus gives investors access to a portfolio of high growth, UK based private companies across the fastest growing sectors in the UK - Technology, Healthcare and Entertainment. These companies have the potential to scale and grow at a rate which can eclipse that of listed counterparts, whilst also allowing investors to enjoy the generous tax reliefs offered by HMRC. Over the past 23 years Calculus has built a strong reputation of delivering profitable portfolio company exits. Successful exits are then paid back out to investors as tax-free gains (EIS) or fund the tax-free dividend stream for VCT investors. These products are beneficial for investors with high income, lifetime annual allowance restrictions, tapered annual allowance, rental income tax and school fee payments, amongst other things.

Royal Mint

Alfred the Great founded the Royal Mint over 1,100 years ago and we have been crafting coins for over a millennium. For over 500 years we made circulation coins on ‘Mint Street’ in the Tower of London before moving to Wales 50 years ago as The Royal Mint planned to expand its production facility in preparation for decimalisation. Sir Isaac Newton was a former Master of the Mint and he spent most of his tenure focussing on quality and precision of coinage to prevent counterfeiting. Thanks to his vision, we remain unrivalled in our accuracy today and our coins are still subject to the ancient Trial of The Pyx – a judicial procedure that sees our coins approved by the official assay master to the Queen. Today, The Royal Mint is the world’s leading export mint, but we are also so much more. We are the home of precious metals in the UK and the primary producer of beautifully made gold, silver and platinum bullion coins and bars, trusted by thousands of investors all over the world. We have a hugely popular visitor centre and just recently, we starting working on a plant where we will start extracting and recycling precious metals from electronic goods such as laptops and mobile phones.
