Well what a to-do .........what are the Directors of the Albion VCTs high on today?

 "The Albion VCTs are not required to register with or pay an annual charge to the Information Commissioner as they only undertake exempt processing"

Anyone care to read the list of exemptions and express an opinion?

[UPDATE 18 September] The Albion website now contains links to the AAEV AGM recording (YouTube) and the presentation slides. The Chairman confirmed questions were received before the AGM as he and his colleagues had requested.  Mine were neither put to the meeting nor answered, nor were the properly made Points of Order and request for Adjournment.

[UPDATED 30 November for additional facts] Interesting to compare Albion's greed (59% of cash invested before any realisations) in the Quantexa affair with ..[ insert name of VCT PONZI scheme of your choice]

This is why Investment Managers annual and performance fees need to be scrapped for a "cost plus" until profits are realised: let us hope the Chancellor agrees. QUANTEXA offers an interesting insight for arguments to be put to The Chancellor in her requested "consultation". First off - well done Albion for spotting the opportunity - the only VCT that did, even with the bribery,  fraud and corporate failings in which they later indulged. (NB.
