The Baronsmead VCTs are two listed venture capital trusts, Baronsmead Venture Trust plc and Baronsmead Second Venture Trust plc, managed by Gresham House Asset Management. They give retail investors tax-efficient exposure to UK growth businesses, backing unquoted early-stage companies at pivotal points in their growth as well as companies traded on AIM, with a generalist sector approach. As at March 2026 the VCTs managed around £470m across a portfolio of more than 155 quoted and unquoted companies, with Gresham House providing mentoring and practical support to investee companies.
