This website contains information regarding the Maven Cognition EIS Fund (the “Fund”), including the Fund’s Information Memorandum (“IM”).

The IM is solely intended for (i) financial intermediaries, such as independent financial advisers who are authorised and regulated by the FCA, (“Intermediaries”); and (ii) categories of recipient who are permitted to receive financial promotions for restricted mass market investments under the FCA rules being:

  • existing clients of Intermediaries for whom an Intermediary has or will confirm that the Fund is a suitable Investment for them in accordance with COBS rule 9;
  • persons who meet the requirements for being a professional client in accordance with COBS rule 3.5;
  • certified high net worth investors in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(i);
  • certified sophisticated investors in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(ii); and
  • self-certified sophisticated investor in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(iii).

Persons who are not in one of the above eligible categories should navigate away from this website and any who receive the IM should disregard it and take no action. No persons other than those in the categories above (and for whom the necessary preliminary steps have been successfully completed) will be permitted to make an investment in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund will place your capital at risk and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund is not suitable for everyone.

The Fund invests in smaller and unquoted companies which carry a higher risk than many other forms of investment. There is no guarantee that target returns will be achieved. There is no liquid market for shares in unquoted companies and there can be difficulties in valuing and disposing of investments in such companies. Tax reliefs will depend on the investors’ individual circumstance and are subject to change. 

Nothing in the IM or on this website constitutes investment or tax advice. All potential investors are recommended to seek advice from a regulated financial adviser that specialises in EIS fund investments before making an investment decision. An investment into the Fund may only be made on the basis of the information set out in the IM.
