In the first half-year of 2009, AvW Invest, which is listed in the Standard Market Auction segment of the Vienna Stock Exchange, systematically expanded its portfolio of equity investments. After recently increasing its stake in GFT Technologies AG (GFTG.DE) to more than 5% and in the Austrian Hirsch Servo AG (HISE.VI) to more than 11%, AvW Invest AG has now become a new shareholder of the German IT company Group Business Software AG (INWG.DE).

Group Business Software AG, headquartered in the German federal state of Thuringia, is a leading provider of "collaborative business solutions" and currently operates in Europe and the United States. "The company is favourably rated, grows at an extraordinary rate and offers potential for future investments", says Mr. Auer-Welsbach.
