InterCapital

What InterCapital does

InterCapital is a privately held financial services group headquartered in Zagreb, Croatia, founded in 2001. It operates as the leading independent financial advisory group in the Southeast Europe (SEE) region, delivering an integrated platform of investment services through multiple wholly-owned entities: InterCapital Securities (brokerage, custody, and market making), InterCapital Asset Management, ICRE (the first real estate fund in Croatia), InterCapital ETF, and the Genius mobile application. The group serves 5,000+ brokerage clients domestically and internationally and reports 15,000+ total clients, with a stated customer base spanning institutional investors and retail brokerage users.

The group's core revenue streams are brokerage and trading commissions on the Zagreb and Ljubljana Stock Exchanges, investment banking advisory (M&A and capital markets), subscription-based market research (the largest regional research team producing 500+ reports annually), and subscription-based asset management products including ETFs tracking regional indices such as CROBEX and SBITOP. Underlying technology includes a proprietary WebTrader platform providing real-time market data, portfolio management, and order execution, complemented by the Genius mobile app for investor insights.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven for institutional and investment banking clients, with self-service digital distribution through WebTrader and Genius for brokerage users. The group is regulated by the Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency and has accumulated 100+ industry awards across the region. In December 2024, Erste Asset Management acquired a portion of the group's fund management business, signaling a partial strategic retrenchment in the asset management vertical.
