Finam Investment Company, based on which an investment holding of the same name was formed, was established in 1994 and it was one of the concerns that began to provide stock market services in Russia. At present, Finam offers its corporate and private clients one of the widest ranges of investment services – from the option to invest funds into stock market instruments and asset management to the comprehensive support of transactions to buy and sell businesses and capital operations (IPO, private offerings, etc.). The holding pursues an intensive direct investment policy, spending funds on the purchase of high-tech projects. The first mutual fund in Russia for investments in high-tech companies (Finam – Information Technologies) was formed within the holding.
