FAST FINANCE INVESTMENT SERVICES

What FAST FINANCE INVESTMENT SERVICES does

Fast Finance Investment Services (FAST FINANCE Α.Ε.Π.Ε.Υ.) is a privately held Greek investment services firm licensed and supervised by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (Επιτροπή Κεφαλαιαγοράς), headquartered in Paleo Faliro, Athens. The firm operates three core service lines under its regulatory license: discretionary portfolio management (Διαχείριση Χαρτοφυλακίου), personalized investment advisory (Παροχή Επενδυτικών Συμβουλών), and reception-and-transmission of orders for financial instruments (Λήψη και Διαβίβαση Εντολών). It also manages a proprietary mixed domestic mutual fund — the Fast Finance Growth & Income Strategy, established in May 2021 with Piraeus Bank as custodian — and offers supplementary corporate finance advisory and investment research services.

The firm serves two primary segments: individual (retail) investors seeking professional management of monetary and movable/immovable assets, and institutional or corporate clients requiring portfolio management, M&A advisory, and capital structure consulting. All investment decisions are delivered through direct advisory relationships with certified portfolio managers and investment advisors, with order execution routed through partner Greek brokerage firms. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring portfolio management fees, advisory fees, mutual fund management fees, transaction-based order transmission fees, and project-based corporate finance advisory fees.

The business is operationally relationship-driven rather than technology-driven: there are no proprietary software platforms, APIs, or mobile applications. Distribution relies on direct client engagement, with brand awareness built through content marketing (website blog, weekly market commentary, economic press reviews) and recurring media appearances on Naftemporiki TV and Mikrometoxos.gr. The firm also maintains a Viber community and active Facebook and LinkedIn profiles for investor engagement. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; account opening requires direct contact and signed application forms. The company is founder/management-controlled, with Ilias Zacharakis serving as Chairman and CEO, and no parent company, private equity backing, or public listing is indicated.
