Dear ,
We are delighted to announce the launch of the University of Oxford Isis Fund III.
Managed in conjunction with Isis Innovation, the University’s Technology Transfer Office, the Fund offers alumni and investors the opportunity to invest in companies formed to commercialise scientific and technological discoveries made at the University of Oxford, in a tax efficient manner through the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
In the latest official UK-wide assessment of all university research, the Research Excellence Framework, Oxford University was ranked number one in the UK for the quality of its research, with the largest volume of world leading research in the country. Isis Innovation also won the Global University Venturing award for ‘Technology Transfer Unit of the Year’ in November 2015 and were ranked as the top TTO in Europe.
There has been considerable interest in the Fund, and both the University of Oxford Isis Funds I and II closed in a short period of time after becoming over-subscribed.
The Fund will be relatively small, and therefore priority will be given to existing investors and alumni and there is a possibility that investors' indications of interest and/or subscriptions may be scaled back.
Please reply or email uoif@parkwalkadvisors.com if you would like a copy of the prospectus.
