Vision EIS 08 Fund
Vision EIS 08 Fund

The Vision EIS 08 Fund was launched in February 2008 through a collaboration between Pre-X Capital Management Limited (Pre-X), an established fund manager and authority on investing in pre-listing (pre-exchange or Pre-X) companies, and Bridge Hall Stockbrokers Limited (BHSL) the progressive FSA regulated stockbrokers with a track record of raising pre-IPO money for small companies seeking pre-IPO (pre Initial Public Offering) capital.

Unlike other EIS funds the Vision EIS 08 Fund was transparent in that not only were all costs and charges fully disclosed by the fund manager, but also uniquely the investor in the Fund could see the actual companies that the Fund was investing into. We felt that this was important as in most funds the choice and quality of company that subsequently receive investment are not known in advance, so investors cannot fully assess the fund, they can only judge the performance of the fund manager. In this case the investor could decide for themselves in advance.

The companies chosen for the Vision EIS 08 Fund were all selected by Pre-X having passed the Pre-X investment committee’s high selection standards. They were all chosen from a library of high quality small companies who approach Pre-X during the year for investment.

The Vision EIS 08 Fund included the following companies:

  • Logicscope Holdings Limited -  Financial software for Foreign Exchange market
  • Flexbenefits Group Limited – Financial software and computer services
  • Moneyspider Holdings Limited – Financial web based performance and reporting service
  • Disarmco Holdings Limited – Ammunition disposal/Clean tech

The minimum subscription for this offer was £1500.

DXS International PLC
DXS International PLC

DXS International Plc was a pre-IPO that Bridge Hall fundraised for during March 2008. Shares were sold at 28 pence ahead of their intended listing on PLUS markets in Q2 of 2008.

DXS International Plc provides an on-screen solution that is installed at medical practices, retail pharmacies and hospitals throughout the UK and which delivers information on medical conditions, available treatments, drugs, care facilities and capabilities.

DXS distinguishes itself by integrating into the Electronic Patients Record systems already in use by healthcare professionals throughout the United Kingdom, thereby presenting accurate information during the patient encounter and relevant to the patient condition.

At the stage of fundraising, the company had attained access to 50% of all British General Practitioners, 14,000 nurses and 2,200 retail pharmacies in the UK, with a further 7,000 to be installed. We believe that the opportunity for growth and expansion is significant and that DXS is well positioned to further dominate the healthcare information market.

Pre-IPO investments can potentially generate attractive returns and we believed that DXS International Plc was a welcome addition to a share portfolio for the following reasons:
