J&T Arch Investments

What J&T Arch Investments does

J&T Arch Investments is a Czech qualified-investor SICAV founded in 2019 and headquartered in Prague, operating as the primary investment vehicle of J&T FINANCE GROUP SE. The fund enables qualified investors to co-invest alongside leading Czech-Slovak business figures in private and public companies typically inaccessible on public markets, spanning energy (60.3% of portfolio), e-commerce and logistics (7.7%), banking and financial services (5.4%), lottery and gaming (4.6%), retail (4.2%), real estate (3.9%), media (1.4%), and hotels and leisure (1%). As of Q1 2026, assets under management exceeded 206 billion CZK (approximately 8.6 billion EUR), the first time a Czech qualified-investor fund crossed this threshold.

The fund is managed by J&T INVESTIČNÍ SPOLEČNOST under Czech National Bank supervision, with J&T BANKA acting as depositary and the primary distribution channel. J&T ARCH became the first fund with continuous trading on the Prague Stock Exchange in January 2026, providing investors with intraday liquidity alongside the traditional subscription model. A dedicated iOS and Android mobile application extended direct investor access in 2025, and a follow-on vehicle, J&T ARCH II, opened to qualified investors in April 2026 with subscription running through July 1, 2026.

Monetization operates on a subscription-based qualified-investor model: investors must commit a minimum equivalent of 125,000 EUR or 1,000,000 CZK with a five-year minimum holding period, and the fund generates returns through its diversified portfolio while charging fees through the management/administration entities. Reported performance includes 12-month returns of +12.15% (CZK growth share class) and +10.81% (EUR growth share class) as of Q1 2026. The investment committee is chaired by Patrik Tkáč, co-founder of J&T, and includes senior leaders of J&T BANKA and J&T INVESTIČNÍ SPOLEČNOST.
