FIMA Invest
FIMA Invest operates as an asset manager domiciled in Zagreb, Croatia, conducting business through its Farve Pro Invest platform. The firm positions itself at the intersection of Western European capital-access ambitions and a local market that adopted the euro in 2023 — a structural shift it flagged explicitly in investor communications that year. Its website mission, published in Croatian, commits to delivering stable investment returns through close collaboration with clients, blending specialist financial knowledge with what it describes as deep sectoral ecosystems. The firm targets buyout, expansion, management buyout, recapitalization, and restructuring mandates across the real economy — a strategy that applies both late-stage growth and turnaround capital to privately held businesses. Farve Pro Invest historically operated at least one publicly offered open-ended alternative investment vehicle, the Blue Income Builder fund, which the firm announced it was liquidating according to a notice posted on its site. Its operational track record spans multiple industries, though no specific portfolio company names were disclosed on the website, and its partnership page content consisted entirely of placeholder text. Governance sits with a three-member supervisory board led by Alan Bubanović, an entrepreneur whose holdings include manufacturing, trade, hospitality, design, construction, and tourism companies. Alongside him, deputy chair Ivana Ćutić brings accounting and regulatory compliance depth, while board member Mladen Gobin adds three decades of tourism-sector management experience, including a tenure at Novasol and a Group RCI Chairman’s Award. The firm joined the American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia in 2022, signaling an outward-facing posture. It has not published AUM, fund-level performance data, or headcount figures. FIMA Invest is operationally a small domestic asset manager with a hybrid European posture — it manages EU-regulated fund structures yet draws its pipeline from a concentrated Adriatic and Central European network of operating businesses owned or influenced by its principals. That sourcing model embeds asset identification within the supervisory board’s own industrial and hospitality portfolios, making allocation decisions less about external origination and more about internal operating-company adjacency.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FIMA Invest?
Strategic oversight is held by the three-member supervisory board: chairman Alan Bubanović, deputy chair Ivana Ćutić, and member Mladen Gobin. The firm does not publicly name a separate chief investment officer or investment committee. Bubanović controls multiple operating companies in manufacturing, trade, hospitality, and construction, which likely influences pipeline origination.
How does FIMA Invest source deals?
The firm’s sourcing appears to flow through the operating-business networks of its principals. Alan Bubanović’s portfolio spans several industrial and tourism-facing companies, while Mladen Gobin has three decades in the tourism sector. FIMA Invest references access to relevant individuals and associations in the EU and US, but provides no independent origination detail or intermediary relationships.
Does FIMA Invest manage any publicly offered funds?
It previously managed the Blue Income Builder, an open-ended alternative investment fund with a public offering. A notice on its website announced the liquidation of that vehicle. The firm has not disclosed any active successor funds or the total number of vehicles currently under management.
What is FIMA Invest’s relationship to Farve Pro Invest?
Farve Pro Invest is the trading name and fund platform under which FIMA Invest conducts its asset management activities. Firm communications, regulatory filings, and the website domain are all structured around the Farve Pro Invest brand. FIMA Invest is the legal entity acting as the alternative investment fund manager.
What is FIMA Invest’s posture on euro adoption and regional convergence?
The firm treated Croatia’s 2023 euro adoption as a material structural event, issuing a dedicated investor communication on recalculating fund prices and monetary values. Its positioning as a Croatian manager targeting EU-aligned private equity mandates suggests a convergence thesis, though it has not articulated a formal macroeconomic strategy.
