Finacor Deutschland

What Finacor Deutschland does

Finacor Deutschland GmbH is a Frankfurt-based interbank broker specializing in the brokerage of financial transactions across money market instruments, fixed-income securities, and interest rate derivatives for institutional investors. The firm operates from two German locations (Frankfurt am Main headquarters at Hochstrasse 43 and a secondary office in Munich) and routes its quotations and trades through established terminals: Reuters pages FINA01-FINA04 and Bloomberg page FING. Its product set is organized into six dedicated desks staffed by separate teams reachable via dedicated phone lines: Government Bonds (European government bonds across the 12 eurozone states, with emphasis on German, French, and Italian issuance), Corporate Bonds (investment-grade corporate debt and corporate floating rate notes), Covered Bonds (including German Jumbo Pfandbriefe, Luxembourg Lettres de Gages, French Obligations foncières, and supranational/agency/sovereign bonds), Repos (general and special collateral secured lending in EUR, USD, and GBP), Deposits (unsecured interbank money market loans from overnight up to two years), and Floater/Fixed Financials (floating rate notes indexed to Euribor and fixed-coupon bank bonds).

Finacor operates exclusively as a B2B intermediary for institutional clients (banks, credit institutions, and institutional investors) and explicitly does not enter into financial service contracts with retail customers. Its go-to-market is relationship-based enterprise field sales, with no consumer-facing marketing channels identified, and pricing is quote-based and individually negotiated with each institutional counterparty. The firm is a private German GmbH registered at Amtsgericht Frankfurt (HRB 73730), authorized as a financial services institution under §32 Abs. 1 KWG and supervised by BaFin, and a member of the EdW securities trading compensation scheme. It has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swiss Compagnie Financière Tradition Group SA (CFT), a leading brokerage group with offices in 26 countries, since 2000, when the French Viel & Cie Group acquired Finacor Paris and its foreign subsidiaries.

The firm earns revenue primarily through transaction commissions on the interbank trades it matches across its six product lines, with revenue mechanics tied to volumes in European government bonds, covered bonds, repos, deposits, and floating rate notes. The company does not publicly disclose revenue figures or pricing. Historical reorganization has consolidated the German franchises (notably the 2010 merger of the Frankfurt and Munich operations under the current Finacor Deutschland GmbH name), and current leadership includes CEO Jens Winter (since 2018, for Germany and Luxembourg of the Tradition Group), Managing Director Heinz-Peter Wilke (with the firm since 1997, in covered bonds trading), and Managing Director / Compliance Officer Helmut Gaussmann (with the Tradition Group since August 1994).
