Vienna / November 2024. Ficron Finance announces the acquisition of a 7.06% minority shareholding in Wiener Privatbank SE, marking a strategic entry into Austria’s private-banking and capital-markets ecosystem. The investment underlines Ficron Finance’s commitment to partnering with well-regulated European financial institutions that combine stability with specialized expertise.
Wiener Privatbank SE, headquartered in Vienna, is a specialist bank delivering tailored solutions across private banking, discretionary asset and fund management, real-estate investments, and capital-markets services. The institution marries Austria’s banking heritage with contemporary market practice, offering clients value-preserving real-estate exposures alongside flexible equity and fixed-income strategies. With in-house fund capabilities, access to global exchanges, and integrated brokerage and financing, the bank provides high-quality, transparent service without the complexity typical of larger universal banks.
The bank’s deep real-estate know-how — particularly in Vienna’s historic properties — together with proven capital-markets competence makes it a trusted partner for families, institutions, and foundations pursuing durable, long-term growth. Its model places priority on safety, sustainability, and genuinely personalized advisory, anchored by strong regulatory compliance and financial resilience.
For Ficron Finance, the minority position offers strategic benefits without operational control: diversified exposure to the Austrian financial market, enhanced insight into private-banking and fund platforms, and scope to explore product collaboration in asset management and real-estate vehicles. The holding also broadens optionality for cross-border distribution, co-investment opportunities, and capital-markets origination in the EU, aligning with Ficron Finance’s philosophy of disciplined, globally oriented investing.
