Funds advised by Munich based investment firm EMH Partners, have announced that they have completed a significant minority investment in DIGITEC, the market standard for FX Swaps pricing technology and workflow automation.

The founding Joost family will retain majority ownership of DIGITEC and will continue to lead the company. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1980 and based in Hamburg, Germany, DIGITEC enables banks and financial institutions to price, manage and distribute liquidity in FX Swaps and related OTC instruments. DIGITEC’s flagship product, the D3 Pricing Engine, is a high-performance, low-latency platform relied upon by many of the world’s top FX-trading institutions. The company also operates the Swaps Data Feed (SDF) – developed in partnership with 360T – which provides high-quality, interbank-grade FX swaps market data, alongside complementary workflow solutions including the D3 OMS.

Headquartered in Hamburg with offices in London and Singapore, DIGITEC serves a global client base – including more than half of the world’s top 50 FX-trading banks – helping them streamline pricing infrastructure, liquidity provision and FX swaps workflows.

Peer Joost, CEO of DIGITEC said,

“Our technology sits at the core of how global banks price and trade FX Swaps. Partnering with EMH Partners allows us to accelerate our long-term roadmap — expanding our data products, scaling our cloud and workflow automation solutions, and driving innovation that reshapes how OTC markets operate. As a family-owned and family-run business, we are especially delighted to partner with a founder-owned and founder-led fund whose values and entrepreneurial spirit align so closely with our own.”

Jens Zuber, Partner at EMH Partners said,

“DIGITEC combines engineering excellence with a uniquely strong position in a structurally growing market. We look forward to partnering with  Peer and the DIGITEC team to scale the platform, deepen its product leadership and support the company’s ambition to define the next generation of FX Swaps technology.”

The Joost family will remain majority shareholder. Deutsche Bank and LUPP + PARTNER acted as advisers to DIGITEC, Milbank and Houlihan Lokey supported EMH Partners.
