The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
FINEXITY Group, which operates a leading marketplace for tokenized private market investments, and EGRO Media Group, one of Germany’s largest weekly newspaper publishers, are combining their strengths to launch a new platform designed to provide up to ten million weekly readers with structured and digital access to private capital market investments. The platform is aimed at investors seeking to selectively expand their asset allocation to include real assets and other private market investments.
At the core of the platform are selected private market experts as well as independent analysts who will regularly contextualize their respective asset classes, explain market developments and provide foundational knowledge across the approximately 70 weekly newspapers published by the EGRO Media Group. Via the platform, investors will receive curated access to selected investment products. The platform is scheduled to launch with investment opportunities in the renewable energy asset class and will be gradually expanded to include additional asset classes.
“This partnership represents a key milestone in our end-investor growth strategy for the coming years and is expected to have a significant impact on our capital markets strategy,” said Paul Hülsmann, Chief Executive Officer of FINEXITY Group. “With EGRO Media Group, we gain a media partner with substantial reach and credibility. For the first time, we are able to communicate our investment solutions broadly, continuously and directly to households reaching up to ten million people. This not only strengthens our market position, but also creates substantial value for our shareholders and issuing partners.”
The platform will be operated and managed technically in its entirety by FINEXITY. FINEXITY will be responsible for product structuring, regulatory embedding as well as the digital subscription and settlement process. EGRO Media Group contributes its journalistic expertise, strong regional presence and extensive reach. With approximately 70 weekly newspapers, a weekly print circulation of more than three million copies and a nationwide reach of up to ten million readers, EGRO represents one of the strongest media platforms in the German market. Its distribution network comprises more than 15,000 delivery personnel across Germany. External expert contributions will be editorially prepared by EGRO’s editorial teams and are intended to provide information and contextualization.
“The platform demonstrates how educational content and digital infrastructure can work together to make private markets more understandable and accessible,” added Michael Ost, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of FINEXITY Group. “Additional reach is combined with an already scalable infrastructure, enabling new investor groups to be introduced to private market investments in a structured and responsible manner.”
From the perspective of EGRO Media Group, the partnership is also regarded as strategically significant. “The combination of our media reach and FINEXITY’s digital investment expertise opens up new revenue and innovation potential,” said Bernd Maas, Managing Partner of EGRO Media Group. “We view this partnership as a long-term strategic alliance that connects traditional media with forward-looking financial technologies and provides us with access to new sources of revenue.”
Markus Echternach, Managing Director of EGRO Media Group, added: “FINEXITY stands for transparency, digitalization and new access to investments – values that align perfectly with our media philosophy. Together, we are creating a direct channel between the capital markets and private investors. This cooperation has the potential to sustainably transform access to investments in Germany for millions of people.”
The platform will be positioned as an independent brand and will be operated technically as a white-label solution via FINEXITY’s infrastructure. This enables fully digital registration, identification and investment processing. The offered investments will be structured as tokenized securities, providing digital, legally compliant and transparent access.
The partnership is designed as a long-term cooperation and provides for a step-by-step expansion of joint activities. In the medium term, the structured execution of primary market transactions in the lower nine-digit euro range is envisaged. From a capital markets perspective, the cooperation represents a significant strategic milestone aimed at scaling the business model, increasing visibility among private investors and sustainably broadening the shareholder base.
