Tax Efficient Portfolios

The portfolios are constructed utilising the investment research and stock selection capabilities of a third-party specialist, Unicorn Asset Management Limited (Unicorn). After assessing and analysing a broad number of asset managers in the AIM IHT market, we have chosen to partner with Unicorn due to their speciality, extensive expertise, and long-term track record in smaller UK, AIM listed companies.

Unicorn manages over £308m open-ended funds and Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) of which a significant proportion is in AIM listed stocks (as of May 2023).

The team’s robust investment process has led to them winning numerous awards. Their approach differs from many other AIM and smaller company managers as the team conducts much of its research in-house and looks to target “best of breed” companies in established markets that are profitable at the time of investment.

Responsible investment is a key priority for both Credo and Unicorn. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues are incorporated into the investment and management processes of the Core AIM IHT Growth and Dividend portfolios.

We recognise, however, that some investors require strict sector limits and/or exclusions alongside a robust ESG policy. In addition to our traditional portfolios, we offer ESG Growth and ESG Dividend portfolios, to ensure we offer a portfolio to meet your needs.
