Hi there
Thanks for taking a look at one of our investment notification emails recently (similar to the one below).
As you might recall, the investments start at £5k and constutute a straight private equity share buy into the production company, which is also the rights holder to its extensive catalogue of well known works. Latest projects include 'The Great Getaway' (the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie in Scotland), and 'Sea Dogs' (pirates in the Mediterranean). Although film investments are considered higher risk than funds, the risk here is mitigated somewhat for you by spreading your investment across all activities of the company, including the exploration of existing rights worldwide. You might notice it also forms good diversification for your portfolio, which means your risk is not all in one area (e.g. real estate).
When executed from the UK, this investment is also covered by the Enterprise Investment Scheme ('EIS'), backed by the UK Government which affords you also up to 30% tax relief, plus a considerable stop loss protection. Outside the UK it is still signicantly attractive to overseas investors. There's also the alluring Investor Experience Program whereby you are invited to attend screenings, filming days, red carpet events, premieres, festivals and more....
You work hard on your accrual of funds we know, and we appreciate you need to invest safely, and, if possible, also to have a little fun into the bargain.
I know you are very busy and that this is a relatively small transaction for you, so we'd be delighted to hear from you with your thoughts when you have time,
Best regards to you and the family,

Why invest in British film using EIS/SEIS?
As Kirsty Bell, partner at Nyman Libson Paul in her FT Adviser article rightly points out, the demand for tax efficient investments is growing, and increasing flows into the Enterprise Investment Schemes (EISs) and Seed Enterprise Investment Schemes (SEISs) are testament to this trend.
As you might know, the EIS is a series of UK tax reliefs originally launched in 1994 by the UK Government, and is designed to encourage investment into smaller non-quoted UK companies. Under EIS arrangements investors qualify for up to 30% tax relief on their investments, plus the scheme also affords some loss protection and enables placements of up to £1M per investor.
In the 2011-12 tax year, HMRC reports that over £1bn was invested into EIS schemes - the highest figure in a decade, and over double the previous year. Needless to say, the more recent figures should prove even more surprising.
So why is EIS so popular? That's an easy one. Investors need to make good returns on their hard earned accruals, and with interest rates so low globally, the attraction afforded by banks is negligible which has prompted investors to look further afield for their returns, including alternative investments.
You might also like to know that the most popular EIS sector (Solar Energy) has now been entirely reconfigured due to changes in the 'Roc' scheme, leaving investors looking for the next best EIS alternative.
We contend, as does Kirsty above at the FT Adviser, that British film may well be the solar replacement. She continues in her article '....film is an investment like any other and should be approached in this way. If you do it well, investing in film and television projects through an EIS can generate secure, low-risk, dependable returns.'
Ok so it's worth looking at. What do I check for? Due diligence, as with any investment, is key. The film industry can be fickle as it is largely audience driven, so it is wise of course to check the Production credits of those involved in the company. It is also wise to avoid investing in just one film, just in case it is not well received, irrespective of the producing credentials. Thereafter, you will be looking at the terms of the investment, including the risk factors, and usually preferred are companies which can mitigate your risk by offering a 'slate' of films in which to invest (3 or 4 at a time usually), or even better a straight equity share buy into the rights holding company, preferably also with a back catalogue of work.
Enter Palm Tree Worldwide. Comprised of key individuals with over 50 years of film industry experience between them, the Palm Tree team takes away all of this headache for you, and also a great deal of the risk. With investments starting at £10,000.00, Palm Tree offers a stable of 20+ existing films as assets, with two high quality British films in production at all times. Coupled with significant global distribution and media coverage, a target return of 15% per year is attainable.
And it doesn't end there. You might think investing in general is usually rather dull. You have a good point. That's why also on offer is a carefully crafted Investor Experience Program where you get to meet the cast, attend premieres and filmings, invitations to festivals, and more. After all, you have worked hard on your fund acquisition - maybe it's time for a little fun too?
Thus, all things considered, we'd suggest you might like to take a closer look.
Thanks for your time in review, and we hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Palm Tree Team London
