Why private markets matter.

Today's investment landscape looks very different from where it was only 10 years ago. Public markets have become increasingly concentrated, while more high growth businesses are choosing to remain private for longer.

At the same time, institutional investors have steadily increased their allocation to private equity and other alternative assets to enhance diversification, access opportunities unavailable through listed markets and seek the potential for attractive long term risk-adjusted returns.

Maven Investor Partners was created to give Professional Clients access to those same opportunities through a flexible deal by deal approach.

Risks

The following represent some of the key risks associated with direct alternative investments which should be carefully considered prior to making any investment decision.

Capital at risk: Private equity investments carry a risk of partial or total loss of capital.

Liquidity risk: Investments are illiquid and investors should be prepared to hold for the long term with the possibility that timelines extend beyond original expectations.

Performance risk: The return on an investment depends entirely on how the underlying business performs, including the strength of its management team, its competitive position, and its ability to deliver on its strategy.

Exit risk: Any return to investors will not be realised until the objectives of the business plan are met, and a suitable exit is achieved.

External risks: Changes in regulation, tax policy, interest rates, or economic conditions can influence company performance, valuations, and the timing or success of an exit.

Frequently asked questions

What are alternative investments?
arrow

Alternative investments are assets that sit outside traditional investments such as listed shares, bonds and cash. They include private equity, venture capital, commercial property, private debt and other private market opportunities.

Private markets generally exhibit lower correlation with traditional markets and rely less on broader market movements and more on the performance of individual investments. As a result, many investors use alternative assets to diversify portfolios, reduce reliance on public markets and access opportunities that are not available through listed securities.

Alternative investments can enhance portfolio diversification and provide exposure to a wider universe of investment opportunities and strategies.

Why invest in alternatives
arrow

Alternative investments can offer several potential benefits, including enhanced diversification, access to opportunities unavailable through public markets and attractive long-term return potential.

Private markets often behave differently from listed equities and bonds, helping investors broaden portfolio exposure beyond traditional asset classes. As public markets have become increasingly concentrated and more growth businesses choose to remain private for longer, investors are increasingly looking to alternative assets as a way of accessing a broader investment universe.

Many institutional investors have steadily increased their allocation to alternative assets in pursuit of improved long-term risk-adjusted returns, diversification and access to private market opportunities.

How to invest in alternative assets
arrow

Alternative investments can be accessed through specialist investment managers, private market funds and direct investment opportunities.

Maven Investor Partners offers a deal-by-deal approach, giving eligible investors the opportunity to review private equity and property investments individually before deciding whether to participate. This allows investors to retain control over where and when they invest, rather than committing capital to a traditional blind-pool fund.

Today, alternative investments are more accessible to experienced investors than ever before, with options including private market funds, co-investments and direct private equity opportunities.

What is a professional client and how do I become one?
arrow

A Professional Client is an investor who is considered capable of making independent investment decisions and understanding the risks associated with complex investment products.

Maven Investor Partners is available exclusively to investors who meet the FCA criteria to be classified as Professional Clients. Eligibility is assessed based on factors such as investment experience, portfolio size and professional background.

Professional Clients may have access to a broader range of investment opportunities, including private equity and other alternative assets that are not generally available to retail investors.

To be treated as a Professional Client, investors must request this status and successfully complete the relevant assessment process.

What is private equity investing?
arrow

Private equity investing involves investing in privately owned companies with the objective of supporting growth, creating value and ultimately achieving a successful exit.

Unlike public market investing, private equity provides access to businesses that are not listed on a stock exchange. This allows investors to participate in opportunities that may not be available through traditional investment portfolios.

Private equity managers often work closely with management teams to help execute growth strategies, improve operational performance and create shareholder value.

What is deal-by-deal investing?
arrow

Deal-by-deal investing allows investors to assess and select individual investment opportunities rather than committing capital to a fund in advance.

Each opportunity is presented separately, giving investors the flexibility to choose which investments suit their objectives, risk appetite and sector preferences.

This approach provides greater transparency and control, while still benefiting from the expertise and investment management capabilities of an experienced private equity manager.

Why are private markets becoming more popular?
arrow

The investment landscape has changed significantly over the last two decades. More companies are choosing to remain private for longer, while public markets have become increasingly concentrated in a small number of large businesses.

As a result, investors are seeking access to private markets to gain exposure to a wider range of companies, growth opportunities and sectors that may not be represented in listed markets.

Private markets have become an increasingly important component of many institutional portfolios, including those of pension funds, endowments and family offices.

What are the potential benefits of private equity?
arrow

Private equity can provide access to businesses, sectors and growth opportunities that are not available through public markets.

The asset class has historically delivered strong long-term performance, supported by active investment management, operational improvement and value creation initiatives.

Private equity also offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to innovation, entrepreneurial businesses and high-growth sectors that increasingly remain outside public markets.

What is the minimum investment through Maven Investor Partners?
arrow

The minimum investment is typically £25,000 per transaction, allowing investors to build a diversified portfolio gradually over time and participate only in opportunities that meet their investment criteria.

Are alternative investments suitable for everyone?
arrow

No. Alternative investments are generally intended for experienced investors who understand the risks involved and have the financial resources to withstand potential losses.

These investments are often illiquid and may require capital to remain invested for a number of years. Investors should carefully consider their objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity requirements before investing.

Past performance is not a guide to future returns and capital is at risk.
