Guinness announces that the Guinness EIS Fund 3 is now open for investment. This fund will invest in UK companies through the tax-efficient EIS structure.

Sustainable Infrastructure

The Guinness EIS Fund 3 will target attractive risk-weighted returns by making investments in Sustainable Infrastructure companies which have predictable revenues, low technology risk and low correlation with other asset classes.

We have identified investment opportunities in and energy efficiency companies which have these investment characteristics.  Renewable energy investment opportunities include hydroelectric and biomass projects, while energy efficiency projects focus on reducing energy costs in office and commercial buildings.  This is achieved by making improvements such as installing LED lighting or insulation for buildings, and sharing the cost savinf benefits of these installations with the user of the building. We aim to deliver returns in excess of £1.50 to investors (including £0.30 EIS Income Tax Relief net of all fees per £1.00 invested.

Strong team

The Fund will be managed by , Tom Hill-Norton and Edward Guinness who bring extensive private equity and renewable energy experience and have raised and invested the Guinness Renewable Energy Funds 1 and 2.  They are supported by an Investment Committee that complements the team with the experience of Tim Guinness, Andrew Martin Smith and Lord Flight, Chairman of the .

A bumper year for EIS expected

Shane Gallwey, Fund Manager said:

«Not only did the government enhance EIS Income Tax relief from 20% to 30% in last year’s budget, but the introduction of a 50% income tax band and a capping of pension contributions at £50,000 per annum has brought the benefits of EIS into sharp relief for many High Net Worth investors.  We expect many new investors to make EIS investments in 2012 as a means of diversifying their portfolios, generating returns with low correlations to the equity markets and making investments that have attractive tax benefits. The Guinness EIS Fund 3 is making investments at the lower-risk end of the universe of EIS funds and is therefore an attractive place for investors to make their first foray into EIS investing.»
