SPLITs Followers' Thoughts for 2005

Thanks for the reminder on the potential perils of VCTs.

I've been doing VCTs since 2001, so I'm well aware of some of the horror stories (thank goodness I never did any of the Murray offerrings).

Baronsmead, Octopus and Northern all seem to be above average, so I'm happy to invest and hold. I'm especially interested in the Ventus VCT offering as I see it as a hedge against ever increasing fossil fuel prices.

EIS investment is a new area for me, but I have little option if I wish to avoid CGT.
