History

edit

INVESTIKA was founded in Prague on 22 May 2014. It began operating in 2015, when the Czech National Bank (ČNB) granted it a licence to manage and administrate investment funds on the Czech market.[2] The INVESTIKA real estate fund became its first investment fund and flagship offering, focusing on commercial real estate.[3]

In February 2016, its online portal Moje INVESTIKA (My INVESTIKA) was launched, a platform through which clients and investment brokers can monitor the progress of their investments. In August of the same year, the real estate fund made its first acquisition. The portfolio included two Pekařská Office buildings in Prague 5. The fund saw a yield of 5.68% that year.[3]

During 2017, the real estate fund acquired a total of nine regional properties in succession (mainly office buildings) and by the end of year had achieved the milestone of 1 billion CZK of managed assets. In 2018, INVESTIKA expanded its fund with the addition of a new product – The DYNAMIKA qualified investor fund, aimed at financing exclusive development projects. A year later, the company was managing 5 billion CZK of assets. The acquisition of the Galerie Butovice shopping centre in Prague 5, among others, contributed to this growth.[3]

The fund acquired its first foreign property in 2021, when it purchased the Szyperská Office Center in Poznań, Poland. The same year, INVESTIKA’s client base surpassed 50,000 individuals.[3]

In 2022, the INVESTIKA real estate fund became the largest non-bank real estate fund for small investors in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[4] The same year, the company’s product portfolio expanded with the launch of its MONETIKA cash fund, the yield of which is tied to the Czech National Bank’s key interest rate (two-week repo rate).[5] By the end of 2022, its managed assets exceeded 17 billion CZK, with 61,000 clients having put their money into INVESTIKA investment funds. Towards the end of the year, the company also completed its largest acquisition in Poland, when it acquired the Face2Face Business Campus in Katowice.[6]

In 2023, its portfolio was supplemented by two further investment funds – the EFEKTIVA stock market fund and the EUROMONETIKA deposit fund.[3] In the first half of the year, INVESTIKA reached 20 billion CZK under its management and increased its year-on-year appraised asset value by 41% to 24.2 billion CZK.[1]
