Maven is a proprietary trading organisation formed in 2011, that has offices in London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, New York and Sydney
Maven’s proprietary trading group, Maven Investment Partners, employs a multi-strategy investment approach by deploying capital to a wide range of investment and trading strategies, managed by a global team of over thirty specialist portfolio managers and analysts
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 sharing information, 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 and traders in the market
