Timeline
History of INVESTIKA
INVESTIKA was founded in 2015. However, the members of the team behind its creation and long-term successful operation have experience working on the financial market dating back to the 1990s. In renowned institutions such as HSBC Bank, Česká spořitelna, ČSOB, Všeobecná úvěrová banka, Knight Frank, they acquired extensive knowledge in the field of securities trading, the functioning of capital markets, investment consulting and the financing of mergers and acquisitions. In the end, they decided to put their know-how to good use by founding a company with the vision of bringing understandable investing to the general public.
In September 2015, INVESTIKA investment company launched its flagship in the field of collective investment: INVESTIKA realestate fund, an open mutual fund focused on commercial real estate. At the time when the INVESTIKA real estate fund was established, the people at its head already had many years of experience in the real estate market and more than one million square meters of commercial real estate traded. Thanks to this, today INVESTIKA real estate fund is the largest non-bank real estate fund in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
In 2018, the INVESTIKA investment company also established its first fund of qualified investors, DYNAMIKA, aimed at financing unique development projects. An example is the top MOLO Lipno Resort, whose already completed residential part won several prestigious awards.
The year 2019 brought the exceeding of the target of 5 billion crowns under management, which was due, among other things, to the largest acquisition of the INVESTIKA real estate fund up to that time - the purchase of the Galerie Butovice shopping center in Prague.
A year later, funds from the INVESTIKA family proved their long-term stability even during the Covid-19 pandemic and continued to grow. By the end of 2019, their aggregate fund capital had risen to more than 7 billion crowns.
The year 2021 brought the first two acquisitions of the INVESTIKA real estate fund abroad and thus became an important milestone for the future expansion of the fund. The number of INVESTIKA investment company clients exceeded 50,000 at the end of the year.
In 2022, thanks to other domestic and foreign acquisitions, the INVESTIKA real estate fund moved to the position of the largest non-bank retail real estate fund in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. On September 1, 2022, a new MONETIKA fund was added to the INVESTIKA family of funds, which serves as an excellent alternative to savings accounts in banks. By the end of 2022, the fund capital of the investment company INVESTIKA exceeded 17 billion crowns, and 61,000 clients were already evaluating the money in its funds.
