Maven VCTs Launch £50 Million Fundraise
By Dominic Sow · 2 October 2025
Nicholas Hyett, Investment Manager at Wealth Club commented:
“Maven is perhaps more focussed on mitigating losses than any other VCT manager. It does that by focussing on more established B2B businesses, ideally with recurring revenues, operating in defensive sectors like cybersecurity and diagnostic services.
The Maven VCTs are also notable for the diversification they offer. Spread an investment across all four Maven VCTs and an investor will be invested in over 130 private and AIM quoted companies. A diverse portfolio helps ensure individual failures, inevitable when investing in small companies, don’t sink the whole VCT.
That conservative approach meant Maven missed out on some of the most spectacular returns in the 2021 boom, but has stood it in better stead more recently as some other VCTs have seen a dramatic reversal in their performance.”
