We have been engaged in the capital market since mid-1990's, initially as employees of prestigious financial institutions and later as the shareholders and Board Members of Suprema Securities SA, renamed to Copernicus Securities SA in February 2008. In the same year, we purchased 100% shares in Copernicus Capital TFI, the first Investment Fund Company in Poland independent from financial institutions. In this way, we have founded a stable Financial Group with a clearly defined development strategy: we want to be the financial institution of first choice for all parties who look for funding or want to invest their funds.
We are a reliable partner for our clients. The Group's equity is more than PLN 41 m and our net profit for 2009 approximated PLN 6 m. Our 31% share in the market of Closed-End Funds makes us number one among all Investment Fund Companies. We have defined clear development directions which are being consistently pursued. This is evident in our management performance results (an over 12% return on the stock portfolio in Q1 2010), systematically growing value of assets (currently more than PLN 4.8 bn) and, most of all, in the recommendations of our Clients. The most remarkable transactions in which we participated recently include the issue of PLN 534 m worth secured corporate bonds for Masterlease (Prime Car Management S.A.), the merger between JC Auto S.A. and InterCars S.A.
