On the retail and tax-efficient side it manages five VCTs (Maven Income and Growth VCT, Maven Income and Growth VCT 3, Maven Income and Growth VCT 4, Maven Income and Growth VCT 5 and Maven Renovar VCT), an EIS offering, and the Maven Investor Partners deal-by-deal co-investment network for private equity and property. On the institutional side it manages the Maven UK Regional Buyout Fund and Maven UK Regional Buyout Fund II, which target businesses with an enterprise value between GBP 10 million and GBP 50 million.
