Czech Fund Market in 2024

NAVCalc Team, Sept. 8, 2025

The Czech investment fund market is experiencing unprecedented growth in 2024 — not only in total assets under management, but also in the number of qualified investor funds (QIFs), investor demand, and operational complexity. According to the latest Ministry of Finance report, both retail and qualified investor funds in the Czech Republic have seen record expansion. This creates new opportunities — and operational challenges — for fund managers, fund administrators, and family offices.

In this article, we highlight five essential trends shaping the Czech fund industry, and what they mean for fund professionals looking to stay competitive.

1. Record Inflows into Qualified Investor Funds

The total assets managed by Czech investment funds have grown by more than 30% year-over-year, now exceeding CZK 2.1 trillion (€84 billion). Qualified investor funds (QIFs) alone have expanded by over 40%, reaching CZK 860 billion (€34 billion).

This surge signals two key trends:

  • The qualified investor fund structure is becoming a mainstream investment vehicle
  • Both institutional investors and HNW individuals are seeking more sophisticated and flexible capital allocation strategies

For fund managers and administrators, this means:

  • More entities to manage
  • More complex NAV workflows
  • Growing expectations for transparent, automated reporting

2. Households Are Moving Savings into Funds

The share of household savings placed into investment funds in the Czech Republic has reached a record high of 20.3%. This shift reflects growing investor confidence in capital markets and increased awareness of the advantages of regulated fund structures — from diversification to tax efficiency.

With this trend, expectations around digital investor access, mobile reporting, and on-demand performance dashboards are rising quickly. Households that are used to banking apps now expect a similar experience when interacting with their fund investments.

3. The Number of Funds Keeps Rising

There are now 303 qualified investor funds in the Czech Republic — an increase of 34 year-over-year — and 54 licensed investment companies. These are record highs.

As the number of Czech investment vehicles continues to grow, so does the need for standardized operational processes — particularly in:

  • Investor onboarding
  • NAV calculation
  • Audit-ready fund reporting

Without proper automation, the increasing volume and diversity of entities can overwhelm even experienced fund management teams.

4. Fund Operations Under Pressure

Growth brings complexity.

Many Czech funds now manage:

  • Multiple share classes
  • FX-denominated units
  • Performance-based fee models
  • Regular asset revaluations

Doing this manually — in Excel or via fragmented systems — is increasingly unsustainable.

We've seen how operational inefficiencies delay reporting, frustrate investors, and raise audit risks. That’s why more fund administrators are turning to fund automation software, especially for:

  • NAV calculation
  • Data validation
  • Digital investor reporting

NAVCalc was built to solve these exact operational challenges.

5. Term Deposits Are Losing Ground

Households are moving away from traditional term deposits — in search of higher returns, more flexibility, and greater transparency.

Funds have become a clear beneficiary of this shift. But earning and maintaining investor trust requires more than performance. It requires:

  • Clear communication of fees, NAVs, and valuations
  • Consistent digital reporting
  • Full control over investor-facing data

This is where modern fund platforms like NAVCalc deliver value.
