Sustainable Estate Planning Service

Overview

The Guinness Sustainable Estate Planning Service is designed to help you manage potential inheritance tax liabilities and pass a greater proportion of your wealth to your loved family or chosen beneficiaries.

It has an investment strategy focused on sustainable infrastructure businesses which target a positive financial and environmental impact. This may include businesses that own and operate renewable energy assets (e.g. Solar) and businesses in adjacent sectors focused on energy efficiency and de-carbonisation.

We aim to provide you with access to a diversified portfolio of underlying trades that qualify for Business Relief.  This offers up to 100% relief from inheritance tax, at death, if your investment is held for at least two years.

Minimum investment: £25,000

Investments

The service is focused on sustainable infrastructure investments. Our aim is to construct a portfolio that seeks to preserve your capital, and deliver predictable and stable returns over the long-term.

GSEPS is a discretionary managed portfolio service which means Guinness selects companies in which to invest on your behalf. The aim is to provide access to a diversified portfolio of underlying trades that meet the investment objectives of the service and give you access to Business Relief.

We may invest in businesses that own and operate renewable energy assets (e.g. Solar) and businesses in adjacent sectors focused on energy efficiency and de-carbonisation.

We aim to provide you with access to a portfolio of underlying businesses with characteristics that offer stable growth and capital preservation over the long-term.

Before making any decision to invest, prospective investors need to understand that investing in unlisted companies can be highly speculative and carries high risk. The Brochure contains details of the risks involved. Investors should consider carefully whether a subscription is suitable for them in the light of the information in the Brochure, Investor Agreement and their personal circumstances. Before investing, investors are strongly recommended to consult an authorised financial adviser. We recommend you seek appropriate independent advice before investing.
