Funds advised by EMH Partners have completed a significant minority investment in DIGITEC, the market standard for FX swaps pricing technology and workflow automation. The founding Joost family will retain majority ownership and continue to lead the company.
Founded in 1980, DIGITEC provides mission-critical pricing technology, workflow automation and market data solutions to leading global financial institutions. Its flagship D3 Pricing Engine is a high-performance, low-latency platform used by many of the world’s top FX trading institutions to price, manage and distribute liquidity in FX swaps and related OTC instruments.
DIGITEC also operates the Swaps Data Feed (SDF), developed in partnership with 360T, which delivers high-quality, interbank-grade FX swaps market data. Alongside D3 and SDF, the firm offers complementary workflow solutions, including the D3 OMS and additional data services that help banks streamline pricing infrastructure, liquidity provision and FX swaps workflows.
The company’s technology and product focus have been recognised through multiple industry awards, including World’s Best Solution for FX Swaps (Euromoney FX Awards 2025), The World’s Best Technology Provider for Swaps (Euromoney FX Awards 2024) and Best Sell-Side OTC Trading Initiative (Sell-Side Technology Awards 2024). Headquartered in Hamburg with offices in London and Singapore, DIGITEC serves a global client base, including more than half of the world’s top 50 FX-trading banks.
“Our technology sits at the core of how global banks price and trade FX Swaps,” said Peer Joost, CEO of DIGITEC. “Partnering with EMH Partners allows us to accelerate our long-term roadmap — expanding our data products, scaling our cloud and workflow automation solutions, and driving innovation that reshapes how OTC markets operate. As a family-owned and family-run business, we are especially delighted to partner with a founder-owned and founder-led fund whose values and entrepreneurial spirit align so closely with our own.”
“DIGITEC combines engineering excellence with a uniquely strong position in a structurally growing market,” said Jens Zuber, Partner at EMH Partners. “We look forward to partnering with Peer and the DIGITEC team to scale the platform, deepen its product leadership and support the company’s ambition to define the next generation of FX Swaps technology.”
The Joost family will remain majority shareholder following the transaction. Financial terms were not disclosed. Deutsche Bank and LUPP + PARTNER acted as advisers to DIGITEC, while Milbank and Houlihan Lokey advised EMH Partners.
