Finanz-Sichereit Konglomerat is a Swiss investment company, founded in 1978 by a mutual agreement between multiple Swiss banks. Not much is known about the people behind the company, apart from a rumored link to Jean-Pierre Van Rossem. Occasionally, public statements are given by a mysterious figure only known as "Mr. Rappen". However, it is not known whether or not he is a single person or the common voice of all the major funders of the operation.

Other people who have had connections to the company are Dietrich Anger, Dieter Oktor and Walther Rench, all who worked as chiefs responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Life GP Series, FSK's first entry into the world of motorsports. Nathan Nurmester also drove for the company's FSK Racing team in the Prost GP Series alongside Anger, but he has stated in numerous interviews that he knew nothing about what happened behind the scenes.

In early 2015 BSkyB collapsed, and Reject World Racing Series acquired the TV rights to all major British football series. Most of the clubs were put up for sale at the same time as well. FSK's senior management wanted to diversify their operations, so the company bought a majority stake in the F1 Rejects Championship (formerly Football League Championship) team Doncaster Rovers.

In July 2015, the company purchased a 49% stake in the cash-strapped Nurminen Racing Engineering team, entering the world of RWRS at the same time. However, this did not affect the team's name or day-to-day operations.
