Börsenmedien is acquiring a majority stake in financial education and comparison platform Finanzwissen, effective 1 June 2026.
The acquisition brings the finanzwissen.de portal into the wider publishing group.
The move is designed to expand the digital reach of Börsenmedien in the retail investing sector, bundle its affiliate activities, and expand its platform for financial product comparisons.
“We are pleased to have found an ideal digital complement to our traditional monthly magazine Euro in Finanzwissen,”
said Bernd Förtsch, Founder and Owner, Börsenmedien.
He added that the deal prepares the company for the growing focus on retirement planning through equity savings plans.
The transaction aims to provide private investors with easier access to high-quality information and suitable financial solutions across the German-speaking market.
“Our goal is to provide investors with an even more comprehensive and high-quality offering around financial education and financial products,”
said Sebastian Rau, Managing Director, Finanzwissen.
Rau will continue to lead the operational business following the merger. As part of the acquisition, Finanzwissen will relocate its headquarters to Kulmbach, Germany.
