Hawick Data N.V.
Hawick Data N.V. is a Dutch public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) registered with the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce (KvK) under number 12016134, with its registered office at Brediusweg 33, 1401AB Bussum. The company is listed on Euronext Amsterdam under the ticker symbol HWK (ISIN NL0010556726).
Until late 2024 the company traded as IEX Group N.V. and operated the Netherlands’ largest online investment-information platform, IEX.nl, together with related financial-media brands including Belegger.nl, DeBeurs.nl, Eurobench.nl, Participaties.nl and IEXGeld. Revenue came mainly from display advertising, sponsored text links, branded content and paid subscriptions aimed at retail investors.
On 14 February 2025, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders approved the sale of these operating activities for EUR 10 million and the renaming of the company from IEX Group N.V. to Hawick Data N.V. Since that sale, Hawick Data N.V. has functioned as a listed cash-holding company. Shareholders authorised up to EUR 2.5 million for potential share buybacks and EUR 7.5 million for new investments, though a specific new investment target had not been publicly disclosed as of the most recent reporting reviewed for this profile.
For the first half of 2026, Hawick Data N.V. reported a net profit of EUR 0.25 million. Its most recent annual general meeting was held on 16 June 2026, at which all agenda items were approved. The company’s KvK registration lists its activity as "other head-office activities," consistent with its current status as a holding entity rather than an operating business.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Hawick Data N.V.
Following the February 2025 restructuring, Value8 N.V., a Dutch listed investment company, is the largest disclosed shareholder of Hawick Data N.V. According to a substantial-holding notification filed under the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and reported on 6 January 2026, Value8 N.V. held 50.23% of Hawick Data N.V., up from 44.21% on 12 September 2025, after another shareholder fully divested its remaining stake. Peter Paul F. de Vries, Value8’s CEO and chairman, separately built up a disclosed direct personal stake of approximately 20% in Hawick Data N.V. through a series of on-market share purchases between late July and September 2025, ahead of a shareholder meeting held in mid-September 2025. Other holders reported in market data include J.P. Visser (approximately 11.1%), R.F. Groen (approximately 6.6%) and J.C.R. Kramer (approximately 5.7%), though the individual filing dates for these three holders were not independently confirmed for this profile. The remaining shares are held by smaller and retail investors.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No single verified ultimate beneficial owner with a calculated effective ownership percentage can be identified from the sources reviewed. Value8 N.V., the 50.23% shareholder, is itself a listed company rather than a natural person, and the percentage of Value8 N.V. held by its own major shareholders was not confirmed for this profile, so an indirect effective percentage cannot be calculated. P.P.F. de Vries holds a disclosed direct stake of approximately 20% in Hawick Data N.V. and is separately reported as a major shareholder and chairman of Value8 N.V.
Data availability
Availability is classified as major shareholders only: Dutch law requires public disclosure of shareholdings only once ownership or voting-rights thresholds (3%, 5%, 10%, and so on) are crossed, so smaller holdings are not individually published. The most recent confirmed disclosure date for the largest shareholder is 6 January 2026.
