The Financial Services Compensation Scheme declared Great Point Investments Limited in default on 8 May 2026. This followed the firm’s entry into creditors’ voluntary liquidation in July 2024 and a lengthy FSCS investigation that received 110 investment claims. A default declaration means the FSCS has confirmed the firm cannot meet valid claims made against it and that compensation may now be paid to eligible investors.
Great Point Investments Limited was an FCA-regulated Alternative Investment Fund Manager (FRN 606798), incorporated in 2013 to manage funds focused on the UK creative industries. Its main product was the Selective Television Production EIS 6 fund, an Enterprise Investment Scheme structured around UK television production companies. These products attracted investors partly because of their tax advantages, but they carry significant risks that were not always communicated clearly.
The firm’s fate was tied closely to its parent company, Great Point Media Limited. When the media group became insolvent in 2024, the investment manager lost the operational and financial support it depended on. The director, Kok-yee Jade Yau, concluded that the firm could not continue and placed it into liquidation. Grant Thornton’s Andrew Charters, Christine Laverty and Nicholas Nicholson were appointed joint liquidators to oversee the wind-down.
Enterprise Investment Scheme funds are complex, higher-risk products. They are not appropriate for every investor. FCA-regulated advisers who recommended these products had a duty to ensure they matched the individual client’s risk appetite, investment horizon and overall financial situation. Where that assessment was not carried out properly, or where the risks were not explained in plain terms, those investors may have been failed by their adviser.
If you invested in Great Point Investments Limited or a related EIS product, you may be entitled to up to £85,000 in FSCS compensation per eligible claim. Being told you invested in something legitimate, or that EIS products are tax-efficient, is not the same as having been given suitable advice. Many people who received unsuitable investment advice have every right to claim, and there is no reason to feel at fault for having trusted a regulated professional.
