Swiss Capital S.A.

What Swiss Capital S.A. does

Swiss Capital S.A. (legal name SSIF Swiss Capital S.A.) is a privately held Romanian brokerage firm founded in 1996 and headquartered at 20 Dacia Blvd., Bucharest. It operates as an authorized financial investment services company under the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF, formerly CNVM) and is the dominant broker on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, holding approximately 28.3% market share and first place by aggregated equities turnover continuously since 2007. The firm serves two principal customer segments: over 100 foreign institutional investment funds from Europe and the USA, which it accesses through field-based enterprise sales for public offerings, capital increases, and tender offers; and individual investors served directly via the online trading platform Predator (online.swisscapital.ro), subject to a EUR 50,000 minimum opening deposit. Revenue is generated primarily through brokerage commissions on transactions in stocks, fixed income instruments, derivatives, structured products, and fund units across the Bucharest Stock Exchange and major American and European exchanges, supplemented by fees from intermediating IPOs, share capital increases, and public tender offers. Complementary offerings include a client-exclusive Research Platform for market intelligence and the Dynamic Assets Open Investment Fund managed by Swiss Capital Asset Management, extending the firm from pure execution into managed investment products.

The company is owned and operated by a small management team concentrated in two co-principals, Bogdan Juravle (General Manager, 47.5% ownership) and Sorin Apostol (Risk Management, 47.5% ownership), with the remaining 5% held by other shareholders. Olimpiu Blajut serves as Deputy General Manager, alongside two board members (Mircea Stefan Solovastru and Stefan Dragos Gioga), two brokers (Stere Gardan, Vlad Zaharia), a compliance officer (Radu Straut), and a backoffice lead (Daniel Olteanu). Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, content-driven research, and partner-led webinars such as the Think Tax collaboration on trading taxation. Notable mandates include the placement of a 5% stake in BRD Groupe Societe Generale and a 17% stake in Zentiva Romania, and recent 2026 mandates include the public tender offers of Lion Capital S.A. and Infinity Capital Investments S.A., and the share capital increase of Star Residence Invest S.A.
