ETFbook, a data and analytics platform specialising in the ETF market, has closed a €4 million Series A funding round led by BlackFin Capital Partners.
ETFbook offers a comprehensive data and analytics service through a web application and APIs.
Headquartered in Zurich, with a presence in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, and Dublin, the company has experienced significant growth since launching in mid-2020.
“This investment will accelerate the execution of our ambitious product roadmap and geographic expansion strategy, enabling ETFbook to better serve the ever-evolving data and analytics needs in the thriving ETF markets globally,”
said Pawel Janus, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of ETFbook.
The ETF industry saw record growth in 2024, attracting US$1.9 trillion in net inflows and surpassing $15 trillion in assets under management.
Alongside this expansion, the sector has seen ongoing innovation, including the introduction of the first Bitcoin ETF and a rise in active managers using ETFs to distribute their strategies more widely.
As the ETF landscape evolves rapidly, investment professionals require detailed, up-to-date data and analytics to inform strategic decisions.
Use cases for such insights range from new product analysis to fund flow tracking, performance comparisons across similar ETFs, and liquidity assessments based on trading volumes.
With the growing complexity of products such as active ETFs and digital asset ETPs, ETFbook provides solutions to support portfolio composition, facilitating the listing of new ETF issuers’ products.
The company has also started incorporating AI capabilities to streamline internal processes and enhance predictive insights for clients.
“As a finance-focused investor, we observe daily the strong tailwinds propelling the ETF industry forward,”
said Romain Grimal, Senior Investment Manager at BlackFin Capital Partners.
“ETFbook provides an answer to the needs of all stakeholders involved. We share Pawel and Bartlomiej’s vision and are thus delighted to lead ETFbook’s Series A funding round to support them in becoming the leading source of truth for the ETF market.”
The investment will support ETFbook’s further expansion, including recruitment across product development, data science, sales, and marketing.
The company aims to enhance its platform capabilities, expand data coverage, and accelerate growth, with a planned entry into the US market later this year.
