By GlobalDataOxford Capital director of private clients Richard Roberts said: "We believe that the EIS will continue to be a growing focus for large numbers of investors, and while some of them will choose to invest via managed funds, we know there are also many people who may prefer to build their own portfolios of selected EIS-qualifying investments."
MMC Ventures marketing manager Anna Slemmings said: "By partnering with CoInvestor we are expecting to engage with a new type of investor, who is different to our current base, but whose outlook and appetite match that of our core investors."
