See you there? What don't the members of AlbionVC llp want the shareholders of the VCTs to know or ask questions about? My response is below their letter.

 


My emailed response: (NB the Directors non-compliance with the Articles and failiing to register with the ICO pervade the entire Investment Trust sector)

I await the application for a restraining order with barely contained excitement.

Dear Mrs Edwards

Thank you for your letter, the contents of which are noted.

I write to confirm receipt and advise you that I will not be "loitering" but will be standing on the public pavement and will be handing out flyers asking visitors to the premises to read and consider the contents in relation to questions that they may wish to or should put to the AlbionVC llp members and very few, if any, of the many Directors of the VCTs who may be present.

I confirm that I will place your letter, this my response and a copy of the leaflet to those shareholders who wish to take one in evidence with the Court by way of an updating Witness Statement necessitated by Ben Larkin's admissions that the Directors (i) cannot all agree on the format of the AGM, (ii) admit failing to comply with the binding Articles of Association and (iii) refusing to put my questions to the meeting.

I attach a time stamped copy of a simple transcript of the recording of the AAEV AGM.

I confirm that I am making formal complaints about those directors of AAEV and Will Fraser-Allen who are regulated by either ICAEW or SRA and will exhibit those, and any replies as well as correspondence with the ICO, AIC, FCA and LSE relating to the conduct of the AGM, in my Witness Statement.

Kind regards

[UPDATE 18 September 2025] [other UPDATES 7 Sep and 21, 14 and 5 JULY] ALBION confirms that AGM's will continue to be held virtually - it stands alone among the 12 members of the Venture Capital Trust Association.

[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. Those questions and requests are now available under terms of qualified privilege for AGMs at:     https://app.box.com/s/1uy3dablcgtvwfnned1m6ylehnqxduvc Readers attention is drawn to the admissions in the recording that Albion is now set on Annual fund raising further confirming the PONZI schemes being run by it and the VCT Directors. Will Fraser-Allen confirmed the falsity and scam of the QUANTEXA Series F "funds raised". Neither he nor the Chairman addressed the ZERO priced warrants that dilute Albion's valuation by £50,000,000. I wonder what hasty action is being taken by the Albion Crown Directors ahead of it's forthc...

[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. AUDITORS AND "VALUERS" TO ALL PARTIES: BDO llp !) Total Cash Invested across all Albion VCTs (2017-2020):                                                       £10,075k  Annual fees paid (based on AADV 2.5% plus 20%) before any realised profit:                    £4,536k Performance fees paid in 2018 and 2020: £520k + £465k ...
