CLOISTER VENTURES LIMITED

Cloisters Ventures Limited is an independently‑owned private investment firm founded in 2014. It raises and deploys capital on behalf of institutions, family offices and high‑net‑worth individuals, while also acting as a placement agent and strategic adviser for alternative‑investment managers and corporate entities seeking institutional funding.

The firm’s core offering is a curated pipeline of private‑investment opportunities, selected by a proven assessment committee that invests its own capital alongside members. Clients benefit from tax‑efficient structures that dovetail with inheritance‑tax, capital‑gains and income‑tax planning, and can build bespoke portfolios while retaining full control and avoiding costly fund‑management fees. Membership is free of charge to investors – fees are paid by the investee companies – and there are no performance fees, meaning 100 % of each investment can qualify for EIS relief.

Cloisters’ leadership team combines deep market expertise with hands‑on experience. Founder Jack Sheehan brings a background in quantitative equity trading and early‑stage advisory; Robert Mason, a former British Army officer turned private‑equity pioneer, oversees European‑focused investments; and Paula Steele, a chartered financial planner with four decades in financial services, adds extensive wealth‑planning knowledge. Together they deliver transparent, aligned investment opportunities to a diverse client base ranging from private individuals to institutional investors.
