CITM3080 - Investment by CDFI: Investments exceeding 20% of qualifying investment

SI2003/96 Schedule 1(5)

An investment by a Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) is not a ‘relevant investment’ for the purposes of SI2003/96 Regulation 8 (see CITM3030) if:

as a consequence of that investment,

and for so long as,

the amount of the investment in that enterprise exceeds 20% of the amount of the CDFI’s investment fund (see CITM3010) at the anniversary of the accreditation date that immediately precedes the investment date.

For investments made during the first year following accreditation the 20% limit operates by reference to the amount of the investment fund at the time the investment by the CDFI is made.
