Mercia Fund Management is pleased to announce the release of its Northern VCTs 2026 summer newsletter.

Welcome from the Fund Principal

The year to 31 March 2026 was one of steady progress. Whilst market conditions remained mixed and valuations across private markets continued to normalise, our focus has remained unchanged. We continue to back ambitious UK businesses with strong management teams, differentiated technologies and the potential to create significant long-term value. Alongside this, we have continued to return capital to shareholders through dividends while maintaining a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies.
