GrowthWorks WV Canadian Fund Inc. and GrowthWorks WV Opportunity Fund Inc. have introduced a new venture capital fund offering that allows investors to shape their venture capital investment to better complement other holdings in their portfolios.

Offering six investing options, by issuing separate series of shares in each fund, each GrowthWorks WV Fund now provides shareholders with more choice and flexibility in one venture capital investment.

Ontario residents who purchase the GrowthWorks WV Opportunity Fund have an additional benefit: the ability to switch between series of shares up to twice a year as their goals change or the market shifts.

Under the new format 70% of a shareholder’s investment in the funds is channeled into a core venture capital portfolio. Shareholders can then choose among a range of diverse options for the remaining portion of their investment that include: balanced; growth; income; financial services; resources; and diversified participation.

“This new approach to venture capital investing allows Canadians to customize their investment to fit an existing portfolio or preference,” says GrowthWorks Capital Ltd. president & CEO, David Levi.
