Plan for the future
Puma Heritage Estate Planning Service is an investment solution that aims to provide you with 100% relief from inheritance tax after two years1.
The Service invests in private trading companies - such as Puma Heritage Ltd - that seek to qualify for Business Relief whilst delivering stable and attractive return.
We are very proud of our track record, having delivered consistent returns while incurring no capital losses to date.
Six key reasons
Investing for long-term tax planning is important. Scroll through the reasons to recommend the Service, so together we can help you to manage your estate tax efficiently.
1. Long track record
The Service is consistently delivering in excess of our target return of 3% pa, with 0% capital losses to date.
Our expert in-house team has been through the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic, when we continued to deliver consistent returns.
2. Liquidity
Puma Heritage Ltd has a loan book of multiple diversified, short-term property loans.
As a result, the Service regularly generates cash. This creates natural liquidity as loans mature over different repayment timelines.
That means its easier for you to access your investment, should you wish to.
3. Institutional lending
Puma Investments has a long track record of success in secured lending, and has secured £500 million of institutional funding.
This provides reassurance that our processes, systems and controls have been thoroughly tested to institutional standards.
4. Independent oversight
Portfolio companies benefit from an independent Board of experienced senior directors, who have substantial lending expertise.
The Board comprises of highly experienced senior independent directors, panels of expert professional advisers, who are all independently audited.
Every loan requires the approval of the Board.
5. Diversification
Diversification is a key feature of the Service. The Puma Heritage Ltd loan book is diversified in four ways:
- Geographic diversification
- Loan amount diversification
- Loan term diversification
- Sector diversification.
This helps us maintain a conservative risk profile.
6. A positive impact
When we select portfolio companies, as well as delivering a stable return for you, we also seek to make a positive impact across the UK.
We have developed strong experience in supporting the delivery of social infrastructure through the Service.
Not only that, we are also committed to a range of ESG principles that help us to operate and invest responsibly.

Risk factors
An investment in the Service carries risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Investors can only invest in the Service through a financial adviser who has assessed that an investment in the Service is suitable.
Past performance: Past performance is no indication of future results and share prices and their values can go down as well as up.
Tax reliefs are not guaranteed: Tax reliefs depend on individuals’ personal circumstances and minimum holding periods, and may be subject to change.
You may lose money: An investment in smaller companies is likely to be higher risk than other investments. Investors’ capital may be at risk and investors may get back less than their original investment.
Long-term investment: An investment in the Service should be considered a long-term investment.
Potentially illiquid investment: Private trading company shares are illiquid. They are characterised by significant spreads and low trading volumes. It may prove difficult for investors to realise immediately or in full proceeds from the sale of such shares.
Life protection: Life protection for the Puma Heritage Estate Planning Service is subject to certain conditions, if these conditions are not met in full then Puma Investments will not be paid out and so no payment will be made to beneficiaries.
