Maven is a global proprietary trading organisation formed in 2011. Our Multi-Strategy Investment Group has offices in London, New York and Hong Kong
Maven’s Multi-Strategy Group deploys capital to a wide range of investment and arbitrage strategies, managed by a global team of specialist portfolio managers and analysts. Our investment teams work in a highly collaborative way, finding synergies and maximising opportunities. Through perpetual support, training and development, we strive to unleash the full potential of our investment professionals
Maven differentiates itself from other market participants in several ways; we are exclusively managing our own capital, as the firm is entirely employee owned; we have delivered an exceptional return on equity since inception; we maintain an entrepreneurial culture and can be flexible to the requirements of different styles of investing and trading; we value non-traditional strategies as well those more commonly seen in the market; and we encourage our investment team to work in a highly collegiate way by finding synergies and ultimately maximising opportunities
We have a central infrastructure platform that enables our investment team to trade independently yet operate within a centrally driven risk-management and operational framework, and we have invested heavily in proprietary technology across all business areas
Our mission is to maintain our position as a market-leading investment house comprising of the best portfolio managers
