Investor Relations

“There are numerous investors out there, competing to identify the right business story. Knowledge-based business model is becoming more advanced than any other, given that material resources are not the critical factor anymore. ComTrade Group was always about concept, about innovation, about inspiring people to come up with viable suggestions. We are continuously committed to perfecting our business model, and we are we confident that it will draw attention of renowned investors who can facilitate our further growth.” Aleksandar Maraš, CFO, ComTrade Group

Since its establishment, ComTrade Group was owned by a single shareholder – its founder and president Mr. Veselin Jevrosimović. This approach had many advantages, as concentrated ownership allowed for more focused strategy, faster decision-making process and greater flexibility in an ever-changing industry. Like any other successful company, ComTrade Group reached a point when external investments became important for further development and expanding into new markets.

In 2008, Unicredit became the second shareholder by acquiring 21.05% of ComTrade Group. This move marked the beginning of a new phase, triggered by several factors. First of all, ComTrade Group is based in South Eastern Europe, a region that is currently experiencing one of the largest GDP growth rates in the entire world. Also, IT industry in this region is going through expansion similar to what developed countries had experienced in the late 90’s. ComTrade Group, as the largest IT organization in the region is enjoying the benefits of this situation, prompting many potential investors to show interest for entering such a market.

Well aware of these facts, ComTrade Group is currently contemplating Initial Public Offering at some point in the future. Still, inquiries and offers from individual investors prior to IPO are welcome, as ComTrade Group always takes all options into account before choosing which path it will follow.
