Background

The London Technology Fund (LTF) was launched in June 2005 and will make initial investments over a period of up to five years. The fund has a ten-year life, extendable to twelve years.

It can invest in a series of tranches alongside other investors, contributing up to a maximum of £1.5m in a single company from its own resources - resulting in a total investment from LTF and co-investors of £3m or more.

Primary investment objective

The LTF has been established to target the gap in funding for technology companies at the earliest stage of their development. However, we operate within various parameters, which include rules relating to 'State Aid', and an important aspect of these rules is the requirement to invest on a commercial basis and alongside other investors. We are also required to have the creation of capital growth and realisation of capital gains as our primary investment objective.
