 Zero Carbon Fund 

Investing in innovative technologies to accelerate the zero carbon transition.

At a glance
  • Current status:                 Closed (Aug-2020)
  • Fund type:                                                        EIS
  • Investment goal:                     Capital growth
  • Focus:                                                   GreenTech
Zero Carbon Capital seeks to invest in positive action against climate change, gain exposure to a sector that has huge potential, and support early-stage technology companies, with the potential to obtain EIS reliefs. The team is small and passionate and has a laser focus on finding and supporting awesome, visionary entrepreneurs building innovative technologies.
 
Zero Carbon Capital envisions an earth where a good standard of living is enabled for everyone, safely and affordably, with net-zero carbon emissions; reliable electricity, healthy food, comfortable buildings, responsible industry and effective transportation. Their goal is to back entrepreneurs with transformative technologies that will accelerate this vision by eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors of the economy that are currently hardest to decarbonise.
 
EIS tax incentives
The companies the fund invests in are expected to be EIS-qualifying, which makes Zero Carbon Fund EIS suitable for qualifying clients who would potentially benefit from the following tax reliefs:
  • Up to 30% income tax relief
  • Tax-free investment growth
  • Capital gains deferral
  • Inheritance tax relief
  • Loss relief
Please note: EIS tax reliefs are only made available to investors because of the higher risks associated with investing in early-stage companies. Also, the availability of tax reliefs will depend on the investor's individual circumstances, and may be subject to change in the future. In addition, the availability of any tax relief depends on the investee companies maintaining their qualifying status. See guide for further information.
