FORUM Family Office ("FFO") has been the vehicle to manage the assets of a Munich-based family since 1997. FFO has no clients.

Our mission is to invest these assets in companies that combine an outstanding business model with strong competitive advantages into a business franchise. When we find such companies we like to stay invested long-term, preferably for the next generation of the family.

We make only direct investments and only in Europe:

• FORUM European Smallcaps ("FES") in publicly quoted companies
• FORUM Private Equity ("FPE") in privately held companies.

We are determined value investors: we do relatively few investments as we:

• require a high margin of safety
• always perform an in-depth Due Diligence.
