    Backing some of the UK’s most ambitious smaller companies

    The Maven VCTs target investment in young and dynamic growth businesses which often benefit from contracted recurring revenues, targeting sectors that are not consumer focused and are generally more defensive in volatile market conditions, such as software, cyber security, training, healthcare and data analytics.

    About the Offers

    The Investor Opportunity

    These are Offers by two established generalist VCTs with large, highly diversified portfolios and a history of generating positive shareholder returns and regular dividends.

    Investing in Entrepreneurial UK Companies

    Subscription through these new share Offers provides access to existing portfolios of private equity and AIM investments that have been selected for their potential to achieve capital appreciation and generate profitable realisations for VCT shareholders.

    The Manager

    Maven is one of the best resourced and most active managers in the sector, with a long-standing track record of success and a regional office network offering nationwide coverage of the market for sourcing VCT qualifying investments.

    Delivering Growth

    The funds raised will allow the VCTs to make further new and follow-on investments in fast growing companies, at a time when Maven's nationwide team is generating a strong pipeline of new opportunities. Maven invests across a broad range of sectors, targeting businesses that have strong core characteristics including a business model capable of scalable growth and a highly capable management team with a proven track record.

    History of delivering profitable exits*
    Maven has a track record of working with entrepreneurial businesses to drive growth and create shareholder value. Since January 2017 the Maven VCTs have achieved 16 profitable realisations of private company investments, delivering total returns of up to 6.5x original cost

    Creating shareholder value

    Maven's record of successful realisations has helped the VCTs to deliver increasing Shareholder returns over the long term, including tax-free dividend payments*. Both VCTs seek, as a guide, to pay an annual dividend that represents 5% of the NAV per share (at the preceding year end).

    Investor tax reliefs

    *It should be noted that historical returns and dividends are no indication or forecast of likely future realisation activity or investor returns.

    **New VCT shares must be held for a minimum of five years in order to retain the upfront income tax relief (see the Prospectus issued in connection with the Offers, for further details of tax treatment).
