Complaints Policy

Issue date: December 2024

Introduction 

We recognise that from time to time things can go wrong, which means you may need to make a complaint. All complaints are investigated fairly and thoroughly, so that we can resolve your issue, and, where we have made a mistake, so that we can learn from it.

Maven Cognition is a wholly owned subsidiary of Maven Capital Partner UK LLP (Maven). As such, all complaints related to our services or operations are managed in accordance with Maven’s established complaints procedure detailed below.

How do I complain?

In the event that you ever have to complain to us, you should contact us by writing to:

Do I have to make the complaint in writing?

No. We are happy to accept complaints by telephone on the above number. Please make it clear that you are registering a complaint and make a note of the name of the person you spoke to and the date on which you rang.

What happens next?

  1. We will acknowledge your complaint promptly and in any event within five working days of your complaint being received. If you do not hear from us in that time, please check first to see that we have actually received your complaint.
  2. We will investigate your complaint fairly, impartially and thoroughly.
  3. If we are not able to provide you with a full response to your complaint within four weeks, we will send you a written response explaining how we are progressing with our investigation.
  4. After we have investigated your complaint, we will write to you explaining the outcome and our findings.

How long will the investigation take?

We will investigate your complaint as quickly as possible. We will aim to complete our investigation within eight weeks of receiving the complaint and you will always receive our final response in this timeframe. If we cannot come to a conclusion in that time, we will tell you why. If your complaint falls within scope of the Financial Ombudsman Service we will refer you to them.

What happens at the end of the investigation?

We will send you a final written response, which will either; uphold your complaint and let you know how we plan to resolve it, or where we do not uphold your complaint we will explain how we have come to this decision.

What if I am not satisfied with your decision?

If your complaint falls within scope of the Financial Ombudsman Service and for any reason, you are not happy with our decision, or if we have been unable to reach a conclusion to our investigations, then you will be entitled to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

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.
