CONSUMER-FACING DISCLOSURE
Product: Maven Cognition EIS Fund
Manager: Maven Cognition Limited
Company Number: 10303336
Date: 04 February 2025
This document sets out the Consumer-facing Disclosures for the Fund based on it not using a specific sustainability label, but using one or more prescribed sustainability-related terms in communications with retail clients. This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label, and this is because Maven Cognition invests in SMEs, who are typically at a growth stage, and are therefore unlikely to have the systems and resources in place that are necessary to provide the information required to uphold a label.
Sustainability approach
Cognition places a strong emphasis on core technologies that are pivotal in creating substantial shifts in societies capability to tackle pressing global challenges. Our investment strategy prioritises sectors where innovation can lead to transformative outcomes, such as advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, clean technology, and health tech. By focusing on investments that not only offer potential for high returns but also contribute to solutions addressing environmental sustainability, healthcare advancements, and technological resilience, we align investor interests with impactful, future-oriented growth. This approach underlines our dedication to long term value creation while actively contributing to a sustainable and resilient global economy.
As such, the Fund will not invest in businesses which:
a) do not meet UK/EU Human Rights laws;
b) employ animal research which does not adhere to the 3Rs: Replacement, Reduction & Refinement. All research must be governed by the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 Amended Regulations 2012 (A(SP)A);
c) produce tobacco or derive >10% revenue directly from the management or ownership of gambling facilities, the production of weapons and ammunitions, the production of pornographic materials, or any illegal activities under any applicable laws; or
d) have substantively poor environmental practices which could not be remedied during the Fund’s period of investment, such as environmental damage.
