The Autumn Budget brings a wave of headlines, hot takes and conflicting opinions within hours. Very little of it explains what the announcement means for your investments, your clients or your planning. Advisers and investors have been asking:

  • What did the Budget confirm for EIS, SEIS and VCT investing, and what stayed the same?
  • Which parts of the announcement matter, and which are just noise?
  • What should we be watching as the detail emerges?

So the day after the Budget, we brought together Stephen Jones, Chartered Financial Planner and board member of the EIS Association, Ewoud Karelse, Senior Analyst at Evelyn Partners, and Kealan Doyle, CEO of Symvan Capital, for an expert read on the announcement while it was still fresh. Three views of the same Budget, in one live conversation.
