Maven Capital Partners, one of the leading managers in the Venture Capital Trust sector, has launched new £40 million joint share offers across its four well-established VCTs.
Investors have the opportunity to benefit from up to 30% initial tax relief, tax-free dividends and exemption from capital gains tax, while potentially participating in investment returns from ambitious, high-growth businesses.
With combined assets of £282 million, Maven’s four VCTs provide access to over 120 private and AIM-quoted companies, offering high diversification and low asset concentration.
Since May 2024, Maven’s VCTs have completed a number of high-value private company exits, including return multiples of 8.2x, 4.7x, 4x, and 2.85x achieved from companies operating in the cybersecurity, digital archiving, regulatory technology and specialist engineering sectors.
Maven’s extensive regional office network is one of the largest in the sector, providing nationwide coverage and deep local knowledge across key UK corporate finance regions.
“Our VCTs have consistently delivered attractive returns for shareholders, underscored by our recent high value exits with return multiples of up to 8.2x,” said Ewan MacKinnon, investment partner at Maven.
“This success reflects our ability to identify dynamic, high-potential companies and collaborate closely with management to drive growth and create investor value.
“With improving market conditions and our investment team continuing to see a strong pipeline of opportunities across the UK, Maven’s VCTs are well positioned to capitalise on new investments and continue their portfolio expansion.
“These new offers will allow investors to participate in the growth of some of the most innovative and high-potential businesses across the UK, while taking advantage of the attractive tax incentives available through VCTs.”
