The year 2023 was full of new challenges and confident plans
23/1/2024
Qualified Investor Fund r2p Invest SICAV a.s. brings not only a traditional and time-tested trading model, but also stability to the current turbulent times.
At r2p invest, we focus on investing in companies involved in the purchase and collection of overdue receivables. Above all, the fund leverages the owners' and team members' many years of experience, expertise and extensive network of contacts in financial institutions around the world.
As a result, we are able to purchase receivables not only profitably, but also with the expectation of a quick return on investment.
Today, our assets exceed CZK 2 billion and the fund is growing steadily. We are taking on new challenges, creating ambitious plans and getting excellent results. And it was no different during 2023.
Thanks to careful investment selection, VIA grows by 40%
Over the course of 2023, performance investment shares (VIAs) delivered an appreciation of 45.16%. This is a major milestone for its holders, i.e. primarily the fund's founders, the Group's management and the partners who have contributed to our success by providing capital. This news also applies to holders of Preferred Investment Shares (PIAs), which are guaranteed a return of up to 9-10% p.a. Here it is worth mentioning the ratio of VIA:PIA shares mentioned above, which in the case of our fund is less than 1:1. A safe ratio is generally given as 1:3, where up to CZK 3 million can be accepted from external investors for every CZK 1 million invested by the founders. Should the ratio be exceeded, the founder is called upon by the investment company to replenish the capital.
Major milestones and company expansion
r2p invest has a rich history full of key milestones that have shaped it. In 2023, the Fund has had no shortage of these events.
One of the company's most important milestones is the opening of r2p's India office. The potential of this region is huge. Many analysts predict significant economic growth in the case of India, and see the country as the world's third largest economy. There are huge opportunities for business here and the financial sector is rapidly gaining momentum. That's why r2p invest is there. Currently, r2p India is completing the preparatory phase and legal procedures.
Based on the market analysis, r2p is expanding to another region which is Serbia. It is the only country in the former Yugoslavia where it is not yet possible for a third party to buy receivables unless it has a banking license. However, this is about to change in the near future and this is another great opportunity for r2p invest to expand its operations
And because we like a challenge, it doesn't end with India and Serbia. The next area where our company's expansion leads is the USA. While we already have one office successfully operating in Arizona, we will now be adding another in Washington.
Clearly, 2023 has brought many opportunities for the r2p invest fund, which it has diligently seized. We believe that 2024 will continue at a similar, if not faster, pace. We are talking about ambitious plans, but also a strong company that is ready for this phase of development.
