AIM Portfolio IHT Plan: 2023, the year so far

Recorded on 31 January 2023.

 
Despite a positive final quarter, 2022 was a tough year for AIM portfolios. Simon Cleaver, head of the AIM Team at Investec Wealth, looks back over the year and describes some of the factors driving investment performance. He also looks at longer term returns and the effectiveness of the IHT tax break, before setting out current positioning and the reasons why advisers continue to recommend the Investec AIM IHT plan to clients.

AIM Portfolio IHT Plan

The AIM Portfolio is designed to exempt your client’s invested assets from Inheritance Tax (IHT) liability on death and after a period of only two years. It achieves this by investing in shares listed on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM) that qualify for Business Relief (BR).

Our investment strategy over many years has been to establish well-diversified client portfolios of up to 40 shares based on our key list of companies, paying particular attention to the ability of the underlying businesses to withstand turbulence in their markets.
