Maven Income and Growth VCT PLC

Maven Income and Growth VCT PLC operates as a venture capital trust. Its investment strategy targets various corporate transactions, including management buy-ins, buy-outs, buy-and-build initiatives, and replacement capital, though it explicitly avoids hostile public-to-private takeovers. The trust maintains a diversified investment portfolio spanning numerous sectors, such as packaging, construction, engineering, transportation, consumer durables and apparel, hospitality, media, retail, healthcare, telecommunications, industrials, non-financials, energy services, financial services, and general consumer goods and services. Its primary focus is on providing capital to smaller, unlisted and AIM-listed companies situated within the United Kingdom. Strict investment limits are observed: no single company receives more than £1 million (or $1.65 million) annually, and no more than 15% of the trust's total assets (at cost) can be allocated to any one business. The trust actively seeks non-executive board representation within its portfolio companies and typically aims for majority shareholdings. For substantial transactions, it retains the flexibility to co-invest with other funds or alongside its own management team.
