SVG Capital is an investor in Permira's private equity funds.

An investment proposition is presented to the Investment Committee (which consists of five of the Board members) for their consideration.

Please refer to 'How to invest'

SVG Capital is not a Venture Capital Trust (VCT), therefore investors in SVG Capital do not qualify for capital gains tax relief.

The portfolio is valued twice a year, in December (for the twelve month period) and June (for the six month period). The Company reports results for the six and twelve month period in August and March respectively.

SVG Capital has the ability to pay dividends. However, its investment objective is one of capital growth and it is anticipated that any returns for shareholders will derive primarily from the capital appreciation of its ordinary shares rather than from dividend income.
