1741 Fund Management AG

Overview

1741 Fund Management AG is a Luxembourg-based investment management company offering a range of investment solutions. The company specializes in structuring, launching, managing, and administering investment funds under Swiss and European law, including UCITS and AIF, domiciled in Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Their services encompass launching and administering Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in these jurisdictions, supporting various asset classes such as stocks, bonds, private equity investments, real estate, art, and digital assets like cryptocurrencies and tokens. Additionally, they provide risk management, legal and tax advice, and ensure compliance with national and international regulatory requirements. The firm's investment strategy focuses on a diverse array of asset classes, including private equity, real estate, hedge funds, commodities, cryptocurrencies, distressed and special situations, ESG and impact investing, fixed income, infrastructure, venture capital, and collectibles & art. They cater to various investment stages, from seed and early-stage investments to growth, late-stage, pre-IPO, buyouts, turnarounds, and distressed situations. Geographically, 1741 Fund Management AG operates in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Austria, serving a wide range of industries such as financial services, real estate, technology, healthcare, consumer goods, energy, telecommunications, media, transportation, industrial goods, materials, utilities, consumer services, basic materials, and financial technology. In January 2026, Nordic Capital acquired a majority stake in 1741 Group, the parent company of 1741 Fund Management AG, aiming to accelerate growth and support both organic expansion and acquisitions along the value chain. This partnership is expected to position the company as an active consolidator in the fragmented European fund services market. Management will retain operational control, with CEO Dr. Benedikt Czok remaining in his role and retaining an approximately 20% stake in 1741 Group, while co-founder Markus Wagner transitions to an advisory position. The transaction is expected to close within the current half-year.
