AT MAVEN WE SEE
THINGS DIFFERENTLY
Privately owned and established in 2012 Maven Capital is a financial services business free from the influence of large organisations. Our highly skilled and experienced Management and Professional Standards team provide Financial Adviser, Paraplanning, Back Office and Practice support that all come together to provide a highly efficient and compliant environment.
A key element of being free from influence is Maven’s Approved Product List which means our advisers are able to offer the best products available for their clients. We know clients have products they want their advisers to consider and our considered approach makes that possible.
Who is Maven Capital?
Maven’s advisers are as unique as our clients, their focus is purely on providing the highest level of professional and ethical financial services with an ethos of the client’s interests are first and foremost. We strive to seek like-minded and ethically driven advisers to join our professional team.
Maven Capital does not have a large number of advisers, that is not our space, it’s important for us to have the resources to respond quickly and spend as much time with our advisers as they need.
Our goal is to provide our financial advisers with the tools and support they need to achieve not only their client’s goals and aspirations but their own as well.
Licensing fees
In this current environment Maven Capital is very aware that costs are a significant factor when considering an AFS Licensee. To this end we are flexible and work with our financial advisers and financial planners to arrive at a solution that best suits their individual situation.
Our fees can be fixed, floating or a combination of both. We do not look to tie our advisers into prescriptive business models. This allows you to choose the options that suit your business best.
Licence fees are paid monthly and cover
