IHT portfolios

Help your clients leave more to their loved ones. Our specialist IHT Portfolio Service is an effective and efficient strategy for minimising inheritance tax (IHT) and maximising growth potential.

Maximise your client’s inheritance

Investing in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) can be an effective way to reduce the tax burden on your client’s estate, helping their family retain more from their inheritance. This is because our IHT Portfolio Service only includes shares in companies that qualify for Business Relief, meaning they could be partially exempt from IHT after they’re held for two years.

Our IHT Portfolio Service is a high-risk investment strategy, which is why we have an expert team to actively manage it for you. Our Investment Managers have a strong track record for delivering superior investment returns and keep a close eye on the portfolio at every step.

Common questions on wealth management

Our IHT Portfolio Service is an AIM (Alternative Investment Market) portfolio. This is a selection of shares in smaller, dynamic UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM. 

These portfolios are often used for growth-focused investments and tax-efficient inheritance planning. Currently, if AIM shares are held for at least two years and still owned after your client’s death, they may qualify for 100% inheritance tax (IHT) exemption through Business Relief.

Performance varies based on market conditions and the specific companies selected, but we do have a strong track record. We focus on robust businesses with strong growth potential to balance risk and reward. Historical returns are reviewed regularly, though past performance isn't a guarantee of future results.

AIM portfolios are an attractive tax planning strategy because they offer potential IHT relief. They also provide an opportunity for growth, unlike traditional estate planning methods that may tie up assets or require irrevocable transfers – like a gift. 

It's important to remember that AIM portfolios are a high-risk investment and should only be used if that’s something that your client is comfortable with. We can advise you and your client on this, to help make the right choice.

Important information

Investment involves risk. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The tax treatment of all investments depends upon individual circumstances and the levels and basis of taxation may change in the future. Investors should discuss their financial arrangements with their own tax adviser before investing.
