A survey of financial advisers¹ on Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) has found that the level of use has been consistent despite concern that rule changes brought in by the government as part of its Patient Capital Review² would stifle the market.  In the survey conducted by Great Point Investments, half (56%) of the advisers questioned said the number of clients using EIS has stayed the same in the last 12 months. Two thirds of advisers (67%) also said they expect to see the same level in the use of EIS by clients in the next 12 months. One in ten (10%) said they expect to see an increase and just over a fifth (23%) said they expect a fall.
