Investment return

Alumni aims to seek the highest returns it can find when selecting technology and resource investee companies to back. It plans to invest in pre-revenue concept stage start-ups which have the potential to return to seed capital providers one hundred times or more of the initial investment on exit. It should be emphasized that these investments are ultra-high risk and have a high probability of failure. The investment fund managers expect by no means of a guarantee that one investment out of five will succeed

An investment in Alumni should be considered as a long-term investment, not least because section 12J requires that investors remain in the investment for a minimum of five years. The investment into Alumni is not liquid and there will be no market for the shares for the foreseeable future.

Tax deductibility of investment in Alumni

In terms of Section 12J of the Income Tax Act, investors will be entitled to deduct from their income the full amount of their investment in Alumni in the tax year in which the investment is made.

This tax relief mitigates the investment risk and significantly mitigates downside risk as well as amplifying the potential return.
