The Finvex Group
The Finvex Group provides specific financial services to investment managers, financial advisors, banks, insurers, research houses and specialized media. We transform financial investment strategies into transparent custom index solutions and subsequently design product solutions on such indexes that can include financial derivatives and different packaging techniques. We also offer assistance in the related specialized distribution and marketing needs.
Our core business technology is custom indexation. We believe indexation is the most efficient, intelligent and transparent way to design and track investment strategies. This custom indexation approach is combined with our experience in the field of derivative hedging to create accessible and tailored solutions.
The Finvex Group is about delivery, not just advice. Our experience will result in usable solutions that are transparent and designed according to the highest standards. We operate with clearly agreed milestones to turn investment concepts into an accessible tangible financial product solution. Our solutions are bottom-line and performance focused.
The Finvex Group was created in 2009 and is a Brussels based partnership of financial investment experts. It was founded by Benedict Peeters and Joakim Darras, two veteran investment bankers with vast experience in the field of structured investment solutions. The group has access to many expert researchers and data analysts to ensure that the highest standards of methodological compliance are applied for each development.
