Under the Microscope: An Analyst Questions the Founders of SEIS & EIS Funds

Symvan Insights, our quarterly webinar series is back in 2026. The first session of the year is a with a twist.

We are handing the floor over to the experienced and Senior Analyst, Ewoud Karelse of Evelyn Partners to challenge the founders of Symvan Capital, live on the 17th February.

Rather than a traditional online presentation, Ewoud will leads the session, putting Symvan’s founders under the spotlight and conducting his due diligence on how their EIS and SEIS strategies work in practice. No slides. No script. And no stone left unturned.

As tax year end approaches, advisers and investors across the UK are carrying out deeper due diligence on the tax-efficient investments they use and on the managers behind them. Structures such as EIS, SEIS and VCTs remain widely used, but expectations around governance, risk management, exits and client suitability have never been higher.

Event details:

• Date: 17th February
• Time: 1pm – 2pm
• Location: Online, Zoom

In this session, we’ll cover:

• How advisers carry out real-world due diligence on EIS and SEIS managers

• The questions advisers ask when assessing risk, governance and portfolio construction

• How suitability, liquidity and exit expectations are addressed in client portfolios

• Where EIS, SEIS and VCTs genuinely fit and where advisers should be cautious

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to raise their own due diligence questions directly with Ewoud and Symvan’s founders.
