CFH Management

CFH Management serves as the central investment hub for two significant Saxon funding initiatives designed to bolster the regional economy through strategic equity investments. Operating as the primary administrator for both the WMS Growth Fund for Medium-Sized Businesses Saxony and the TGFS Technology Founder Fund Saxony, CFH delivers tailored financial solutions for businesses at various development stages across the Saxon region. This distinctive dual-fund approach enables CFH to support the complete business spectrum, from innovative startups seeking seed capital to established mid-market companies pursuing expansion opportunities.

The WMS Growth Fund, currently in its third generation with a substantial €85 million fund volume, focuses specifically on growth-oriented SMEs either headquartered in or maintaining significant operations within Saxony. The fund's investment philosophy extends beyond mere capital provision, offering comprehensive business development support and strategic partnership to facilitate expansion. This holistic approach makes WMS an invaluable resource for Saxon medium-sized enterprises across virtually all industry sectors seeking to strengthen their capital foundation while accessing expertise for critical business processes.

Complementing this mid-market focus, the TGFS Technology Founder Fund targets early-stage, knowledge-intensive ventures in high-growth sectors. Initially launched in 2008 with €60 million, the fund has experienced significant expansion, growing to €124.4 million in 2016 and reaching €147.5 million in its current iteration. TGFS specializes in supporting innovative startups within specific technology domains including ICT, semiconductor and microsystem technology, medical technology, life sciences, environmental and energy technologies, and new media. Beyond financial backing, portfolio companies gain access to valuable regional and supra-regional network resources through the fund's management companies.

Both funds represent a collaborative investment approach between public and private Saxon institutions, with key backers including regional savings banks, MBG Sachsen, SAB, LBBW, and the Free State of Saxony itself. This partnership structure reflects CFH's deeply rooted regional commitment to Saxon economic development. The investment operations are further strengthened through localized expertise provided by savings bank investment companies in Chemnitz, Leipzig, and Dresden, ensuring entrepreneurs and business owners receive regionally-informed support. This "From Saxony. For Saxony" ethos underscores CFH's mission to reinvest in the region's economic future through strategic capital deployment and business development.
