Parmantier & Cie. Acquires Frankfurt Main Research (FMR) AG

• Parmantier & Cie. acquired Frankfurt Main Research (FMR) AG, specialists in Small and Mid Cap research.
• The German SME sector is underserved in research.
• This acquisition strengthens Parmantier & Cie’s position in the Small and Mid-Cap market

Frankfurt am Main, June 04, 2024 – Parmantier & Cie. GmbH is expanding. The advisory and investment firm for mid-sized companies, entrepreneurs, and institutional investors has taken over the operations of Frankfurt Main Research (FMR) AG. FMR will be integrated into the company and will operate under the name “Parmantier & Cie. Research (PCR)” in the future. “The German SME sector is underserved in research. Those seeking capital market-related financing solutions experience this daily. With the integration of FMR AG into Parmantier & Cie., we can expand our offerings and expertise for Small and Mid-Cap companies and provide our clients with first-hand research services,” said René Parmantier, Founder and Principal of Parmantier & Cie.

René Parmantier further commented, “The expertise and knowledge of Frankfurt Main Research (FMR) are valuable additions to our business model. The undervaluation of many Small Cap companies highlights the importance of high-quality research products. In times of passive investments and the dominance of the ‘Magnificent 7’ in the USA, many exciting Small Caps are overlooked and receive little to no attention. This is where we come in.”

Sascha Magsamen, CEO of PVM Private Values Media AG and former majority owner of Frankfurt Main Research (FMR), stated, “We are very pleased that FMR is now part of Parmantier & Cie. Financial analysis now has a new and powerful home to offer its clients first-class research services.”
