Highlights from the latest edition

Delivering value through strategic exits

Maven maintains its long term track record of achieving successful private company realisations, including:

• Novatus Global: Partial exit generates a 4.7x return in just over two years, at the highest sale valuation achieved to date from the unlisted technology portfolio.
• MirrorWeb: Sale to a US private equity fund allows the VCTs to achieve a partial exit and generate a 4x aggregate return on cost, while retaining an ongoing equity stake in the business.
• CB Technology: Full exit resulted in a 2.85x return on cost, marking a successful conclusion to Maven’s involvement in scaling this specialist electronics manufacturer.
  
  

Investing in the future of UK innovation

This edition also highlights two recent investments in businesses we believe have high growth potential:

• Connected Data: Nottingham based business leveraging emerging technologies to transform debt management, creating fairer, data-driven solutions.
• RiskSmart: Manchester based RegTech innovator that has developed a proprietary platform streamlining governance, risk, and compliance processes for major blue chip clients.
  
  

Opportunities to invest in Maven’s proven strategy

Building on a strong track record, Maven has launched new VCT share offers, raising up to £20 million with an additional £20 million over-allotment facility. These offers provide an opportunity to invest in four well-established VCTs with a history of delivering positive shareholders.

Key benefits of Maven’s VCTs include:

• Attractive tax incentives: Up to 30% initial income tax relief, tax-free dividends, and capital gains tax exemptions.
• Enhanced dividend policy: Recent exits have enabled Maven to target annual payments of 6% of NAV per share, providing a stable and tax-efficient income stream.
• Proven expertise: With over 20 years of experience, Maven’s disciplined investment approach and focus on high-growth sectors like RegTech, software, and healthcare have consistently delivered results.
