Annual Review 2021-22: A Year of transformation

This Annual Review summarises the proprietary research, policy engagement, events, and other activity that the BVCA conducted to support you and fellow members over the past year.

The BVCA remains focused on its representative work on policy and, more broadly, making the case that private equity and venture capital creates significant public value and supports our stakeholders across the country in addressing their key policy priorities. Together, our members create innovation, growth and benefits to people across the UK. The work the BVCA has undertaken for the industry over the past year has helped communicate that in a compelling way.

We focused on key policy areas, ranging from the EIS/VCT sunset clause and accessing DC pension capital, to the AIFMD review, new sustainability rules, new clawback rules in IFPR and other tax treatments of the industry. We also engaged with our members on a range of ESG issues, including sustainability, diversity and inclusion (D&I).

Our reports have helped to deliver a better understanding of private capital’s contribution to the UK.

We refreshed our brand, to bring to life the purpose of the industry – that we are ‘invested in a better future’.

As we moved from digital to physical events, and back again, we focused on providing you with a best-in-class forum for insight, networking, exchanging knowledge and best practice, and learning and development.
