This fund is built on years of aggregated portfolio performance data, thousands of company updates, and market-wide datasets. The volume of data we hold allows us to apply a distinct analytical approach to company selection.
We launched this fund now because our data indicates that a meaningful subset of the Access portfolio is reaching a critical inflection point. Now is the time to capitalise on the companies that have seen significant signs of growth.
We aim to deploy capital before the end of the current tax year, specifically to meet the needs of investors and advisers looking to utilise 'carry back' reliefs for the 2024/25 tax year.

CEO Graham Schwikkard has over a decade of experience with data science and working with large datasets. He has a fascination with the dynamics of the startup investment network and after coming across the Companies House dataset in 2017, he spent many hours designing much of the analysis behind the Access Fund. Graham would like to see Access become a vehicle for delivering efficient capital throughout the network, and increase the odds of the system producing more Unicorns and economic growth.
