Finfox is now part of the CHAPTERS Group

Finfox is opening a new chapter in its history and is now operating under the umbrella of CHAPTERS Group AG. Through its subsidiary CHAPTERS Software Switzerland GmbH, CHAPTERS acquired all shares in ECOFIN Software and Technology AG and ECOFIN Research and Consulting AG (together known as Finfox) from emeritus finance professor Dr. Martin Janssen, effective as of May 2, 2025. With this change in ownership, Finfox is entering a new phase of development focused on innovation, customer centricity, and scalability.

ECOFIN Software and Technology AG, a leading Swiss software provider in the field of digital wealth management, offers seamless, hybrid investment advisory services across multiple channels through its digital platform Finfox. ECOFIN Software and Technology AG has now been renamed Finfox Software and Technology AG. Finfox will continue to operate as an independent company, and the Finfox brand will be retained.

CHAPTERS Group AG is a Frankfurt-listed investment holding company that specializes in acquiring small and mid-sized businesses providing “mission critical” digital solutions.

“I am pleased that with CHAPTERS Group we have found a long-term-oriented new owner who supports Finfox’s strategic course and is committed to further strengthening both its innovation capabilities and its trusted client relationships,” said Prof. Dr. Martin Janssen, founder and owner of ECOFIN Group. The other companies of the ECOFIN Group operating in the areas of investment advisory and asset management, data infrastructure, and blockchain activities are not affected by this transaction.

Marc Maurer, Managing Director of CHAPTERS Software Switzerland GmbH and COO Vertical Market Software of CHAPTERS Group, will oversee the integration and further development of Finfox within the Group: “With Finfox, we are adding a true digital champion in the WealthTech space to our portfolio. CHAPTERS Group plans to strengthen the product suite through additional targeted acquisitions and to deepen Finfox’s excellent client relationships.”

Andreas Borg, CEO of Finfox, sees the change in ownership as a major opportunity: “Joining the CHAPTERS Group means becoming part of a highly successful software investment company with over 45 portfolio firms. For Finfox, this also reflects a long-term ownership structure focused on advancing the direction set over the past three years. We will remain operationally independent while benefiting from strategic guidance and the exceptional network of our new owner. We look forward to working together and continuing Finfox’s success story.”
