About
Maven Income and Growth VCT 4 PLC operates as a venture capital trust, directing its capital primarily towards companies in mature and later growth phases. The fund's mandate includes investing in well-established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across diverse sectors, as well as businesses publicly traded on the AIM or ISDX exchanges. All its investments are made exclusively within the United Kingdom. Annually, the trust limits its capital injection into any single portfolio company to £1 million ($1.2 million). A key objective is to secure a majority ownership position in the businesses it backs, and it also actively pursues co-investment arrangements.
