Wood & Company

What Wood & Company does

WOOD & Company is a privately held Central European financial and investment group founded in 1991 and headquartered in Prague, operating across investment banking, wealth management, asset management, securities markets, real estate, and venture investments. The firm serves a diversified client base of high-net-worth individuals, corporate advisory clients, institutional investors, and qualified retail investors across Central and Western Europe, with offices in seven cities (Prague, Warsaw, Milan, Bucharest, Bratislava, Dublin, London) and membership in the Oaklins global M&A advisory network.

The group's core product platform spans listed securities trading on European exchanges, discretionary and managed fund products (including the Office podfond at EUR 365.5M and a blockchain fund), M&A and capital markets advisory, wealth management, and a EUR 3.1B real estate portfolio comprising 15 buildings and 309,000 m2 of commercial space. Underlying technology includes the Calypso platform, an in-house order management system, integrated data warehouse and BI tooling, and applications built on the Microsoft Power Platform and .NET framework. WOOD operates under MiFID II, ČNB, and FATCA/CRS regulatory frameworks and pioneered the first CEE-focused SPAC (WOOD SPAC One), which raised CZK 540M from over 400 investors and was used to list FOOTSHOP in 2023.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring asset management fees (linked to EUR 3.1B real estate AUM and other podfond assets), transaction and advisory fees from investment banking mandates, securities trading commissions, wealth management fees, and performance income from real estate operations (Office podfond NOI of EUR 27.1M). The go-to-market combines direct relationship coverage across CEE corporate and institutional clients with cross-border deal origination via the Oaklins network and the firm's London/Dublin/Warsaw offices. The firm is privately held and does not publicly disclose financial results, limiting external visibility into segment-level revenue mix and margin profile.
