Fund Twenty8
Smart Beta for Early stage investing – Fund Twenty8 The fund is the first passive EIS fund for early stage investments. It will deliver a multi-sector and large portfolio for investors. They believe Fund Twenty8 addresses two key areas currently underserved by the EIS fund market. A lack of sector diversification within a fund and a failure to benefit from a wide portfolio approach investing. Traditional early stage funds usually focus on a single sector (exposing investors to sector-specific risks) and usually only invest in 5 to 8 investments per fund. They feel there is a need in the market for a multi-sector and large portfolio fund for early stage investments. That’s why they created Fund Twenty8. Fund Twenty8 offers investors access to a diversified portfolio with at least 28 investments per fund and across multiple sectors.
