A dynamic group - performance with substance
With the creation of BRAWO GROUP, Volksbank BRAWO has set the course for a successful future. The four business divisions Finance, Real Estate, Corporate Investments and Corporate Responsibility are consolidated under this strong brand. More than 330 companies with over 2,200 employees operate independently and efficiently in their respective markets. Many of them are focused on the development, financing, marketing and management of private and commercial properties. In 2023, blueorange Green Energy was also founded as a project developer for renewable energy projects.
As an owner-managed company, FOM Real Estate has designed, planned, built and realised complex projects with a volume of more than EUR 4 billion throughout Germany and abroad for more than 26 years. From its headquarters in Heidelberg, it had already regularly worked with renowned national and international capital partners before taking the decision to establish FOM Invest in 2019 in order to expand its value chain.
At the beginning of 2020, FOM Invest applied at BaFin, the German regulatory body, for a licence to set up and manage regulated fund products in the real estate sector and the team was set up. The licence for real estate was granted in September 2020 and the first fund was launched in March 2021. Two further funds followed in October 2021 and March 2022. At the end of 2022, the strategic course was set for the expansion to include the renewable energies asset class by setting up a specialised team. The licence for this new asset class was granted by BaFin in July 2023.
