IRON BOX CAPITAL

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Iron Box Capital is a specialist film and TV financing company. Established in 2015, Iron Box is run by actual film makers. We understand every aspect of the whole process and value chain of making films, including the financing, development, production, distribution and marketing of films. The experience of the whole team and advisory board is second to none.

USPs

We are film makers. People that understand the whole process.

With Colin Brown as Chairman, our network of contacts across the global film industry are second to none.

We have created a range of different ways for people to invest. Whether via Amersham’s SEIS and / or EIS Funds or alternatively the Investee Companies for SEIS and EIS projects.

We want our investors and their advisers to enjoy the whole film experience and have fun. This can include watching the filming and meeting the ‘stars’, going to film premieres, or even having a role as an extra!

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The entire focus is on creating audience driven films. It is this that drives the commercial success of films. That is why we focus on genres of film that have a strong track record in delivering profits, and also in working with teams that have a global reputation for excellence. It is worth making the point that smaller budget films can often make greater profits than major films, because they are more targeted for specific audiences.

In today’s world we also target the inline market for films, across Netflix, Amazon Prime, In flight films, video on demand and so on. As more opportunities to view grows, so does the demand for films.

Key Services and Funds

There are several options for investors.

We are part of Amersham’s general SEIS (“ASEIS”) and EIS funds (“ACDC”), where clients can invest generally across a variety of industries or specifically in the respective Iron Box Film & TV SEIS and / or SEIS channels. Where clients invest via the funds, the investment will be allocated across several film & TV investee companies which in turn will be spread across a portfolio of films. Investments are SEIS and EIS qualifying.

We have also set up investee companies to look after every stage of the production process to ensure both quality and delivery. This allows more than just raising and investing money, and enable us to offer a superior product. These companies are based on specific genres of film, or teams of specialist people. There are currently 7+ films ready to go….with many more to come.

There are opportunities to benefit from both SEIS and EIS when you invest in these companies.

Over the last decade we’ve backed some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, including the founders of Zoopla Property Group, Secret Escapes and graze.com.

It targets high levels of capital growth through investing in early stage companies. However rather than increasing the value of its shares it aims to return investment

performance to shareholders as tax-free dividends, and targets a dividend of 5p per annum, plus special dividends if portfolio companies are sold at a significant profit.

KEY SERVICES AND FUNDS

Funds

Rubrics Asset Management Funds

Rubrics Asset Management is a multi-award winning global asset manager providing dynamic fixed income strategies across its five Irish UCITs Funds.

The philosophy is consistent: to manage drawdowns better than peers by being active, non-benchmarked and agile. In a marketplace increasingly dominated by mega fund constructs, Rubrics’ smaller size enables greater flexibility to transition portfolios for changing market conditions.

With a track record dating back to 2006, these funds consistently outperform many of their global peers and passive investment strategies alike.

Sure Ventures PLC

Sure Ventures Plc is a listed venture capital investment trust which invests in high growth start-ups in the UK and Ireland. These primarily address the nascent Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) sectors (forecast to be a $108bn market by 2022).

Several investments have been made to date and when fully constructed the anticipated portfolio should consist of 30 holdings. These will also include companies that fit within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Fintech sectors. The Trust is currently authorised to issue £50m shares; it will provide diversified exposure to an asset class that is traditionally dominated by private venture capital funds and not usually open to individual investors.

The targeted return is 30% gross p.a. and dividends will be paid to maintain its status as an investment trust.

Services

EIS Portfolio

Many EIS qualifying opportunities are unlisted, meaning that establishing a true value of your investments, or selling them can be difficult.

Our discretionary EIS Portfolio service only invests in listed EIS companies (mainly on AIM) which go through a rigorous selection process and are vetted by our investment committee. This approach provides flexibility and has resulted in some highly impressive returns.

AIM IHT Portfolio

Like our EIS service, our AIM Inheritance Portfolio involves a stringent selection process.

While we can invest in any AIM listed company qualifying for Business Relief, we also have research based, in-house criteria relating to the attractiveness of an investment. We also maintain strong relationships with companies, corporate brokers and market counterparties which allows us to give you comprehensive insights.
