following:
"The Company will invest in a broad portfolio of smaller, unquoted
growth businesses across a variety of sectors including higher risk
technology companies. Investments may take the form of equity or a
mixture of equity and loans.
Whilst allocation of funds will be determined by the investment
opportunities which become available, efforts will be made to ensure

maturity of investee businesses. Funds held pending investment, or for
liquidity purposes, will be held principally as cash on deposit."
