Alpha Bulgaria AD (“Alpha Bulgaria”, ALFB) is a Sofia-based public investment company listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange. The group positions itself as a fast-growing holding with a rapidly upsized share capital and a portfolio that includes the alternative investment fund Alpha Fund AD, a sub-10% exposure to Wiener Privatbank SE (Vienna), and an $8 million offshore investment in Canal Bank SA, Panama.
Wiener Privatbank (WPB) is Austria’s only listed private bank. Its 2025 shareholder roster includes a 9.55% position by Alpha Fund AD (Bulgaria) — a stake size that sits just below the 10% “qualifying holding” threshold that triggers enhanced regulatory scrutiny. The Alpha Fund link pulls in a wider, opaque web around Alpha Bulgaria AD, BGA Management GmbH (Vienna), and Bulgarian holding companies.
