history
The Netfonds Group was originally founded in 2000 as Netfonds24.de GmbH and was intended to act as an online discounter for financial products . The bad mood on the capital markets at the time led to a strategic realignment of the business model. This was followed by a change of name in the form of the deletion of the "24" from the name to Netfonds GmbH and at the same time an adaptation of the business idea.
Together with the entry of Peer Reichelt in 2001, Netfonds GmbH developed into an independent pool service provider for brokers , distributors, insurance companies and banks . In this context, the newly developed software and information services were taken over by the specially founded fundsware GmbH.
With the next development step, the company became its own broker pool for the investment fund business (at that time under the permit §34c GewO), with which financial brokers could submit and process transactions. Due to the increased demand in the insurance business, Oliver Kieper staffed and strategically expanded the insurance division in 2004.
In the same year the company NFS Netfonds Financial Service GmbH (NFS) was founded. The NFS is a financial services institution registered with BaFin , which acts as a liability umbrella for former bank advisors, fund managers and asset managers within the framework of Section 32 of the German Banking Act . Christian Hammer and Peer Reichelt have been managing directors of the NFS since 2005.
In 2010, the financial portfolio manager NFS Capital AG was founded in Liechtenstein with the aim of outsourcing the areas of fund management and fund advisory.
Netfonds GmbH was renamed a stock corporation in 2011 and has been called Netfonds AG since then.
In 2012, NVS Netfonds Versicherungsservice AG was founded as a multiple insurance agent. Oliver Kieper took on the leading role. Lars Lüthans has been a member of the NVS AG Management Board since 2014. In the same year, the Netfonds Group was able to acquire Hamburger Vermögen GmbH (HHVM) and, in addition to the company, also integrated HHVM's founder, Eric Wiese, as managing director . HHVM Hamburger Vermögen GmbH has a license in accordance with Section 32 KWG as a financial portfolio manager and acts in the group as a service provider for asset management strategies. In 2016 the HHVM was renamed “NFS” Hamburger Vermögen GmbH. This step was taken to underpin the affiliation to the Netfonds Group.
In 2013, the Frankfurt broker pool Argentos AG, which has been a 100% subsidiary of Netfonds AG since then, was acquired.
On May 2, 2019, Dietgar Völzke was appointed to the newly created IT director of Netfonds AG.
In January 2018, the professional real estate investment division was outsourced. To this end, the 100% subsidiary of Netfonds AG, NSI Netfonds Structured Investments GmbH, was realigned. Since then, NSI GmbH has focused exclusively on real estate for capital investment for individual investors as well as private placements and fixed-income bonds.
In May 2018, Netfonds AG took a 51% stake in the Hamburg IT specialist VDV GmbH. As a result of the acquisition, the front-end software of the Netfonds Group was supplemented by a back-end software system for insurance brokers and the financial platform was expanded. For many years, VDV GmbH has specialized in the exchange and processing of large databases in the insurance sector using the industry standards GDV and BiPRO. In addition, the VDV has a cloud-based broker management system.
In September 2018, Netfonds announced its stock market debut in the m: access of the Munich Stock Exchange. The initial listing on September 3, 2018 was at a price of EUR 29.50 per share, which corresponds to a market capitalization of around EUR 62 million. The company's shares have been tradable on the XETRA electronic trading platform of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since September 14, 2018.
