Founded over twenty years ago, Hardman & Co is an FCA registered firm, with a long established reputation for quality independent research on small and mid-cap companies and funds. The firm has a pool of highly experienced analysts with an average 27 years researching a broad range of sectors. It is also recognised for its work in valuing businesses for corporate due diligence and as an expert witness. Hardman & Co now provides investors and advisers with comprehensive reports covering, EIS, VCT and IHT offerings.

Hardman & Co’s approach to EIS and related products uses its extensive knowledge and experience to understand what each provider and product is aiming to achieve and the associated risks. Each review provides comprehensive research, including investment process, fee structures, performance attribution and risk analysis. In particular, this work addresses the concerns that the FCA has raised about concentration on ‘tax efficiency’ by other research providers.

We provide the information that enables advisers to speak to their clients on tax enhanced products with confidence.
