The Family Office
you trust
FORUM Family Office has been managing the assets of a Munich family since 1997. FORUM's investment strategy is 100% focused on corporate investments: we invest exclusively in listed and private companies, which is where our expertise lies.
Listed companies are usually more developed and help us to develop lessons for our family equity investments.
Conversely, our deep insight into our family equity investments helps us identify companies that have retained their mid-market agility.
FORUM has no clients.
FORUM Family Office has been named a Top Company 2025 - a special recognition based on the outstanding ratings of its employees. The award underlines the company's commitment to an appreciative working environment, team spirit and sustainable success. FORUM has managed to position itself as an attractive employer and set standards for a corporate culture in which performance and humanity are valued equally. A sign of appreciation that reflects the close cooperation and trust within the company.
Our investment strategy is 100% focused on corporate investments.
While in Family Equity we invest in private companies in order to hold them permanently, in Value Investing we invest in listed companies in order to draw conclusions for our investments in Family Equity.
Here, we invest in privately owned small and medium-sized businesses and take them to the next level.
More about Family Equity...
Here we invest in listed medium-sized companies from Europe that are market leaders in their niches.
More about Value Investing...FORUM is part of a growing number of European family offices that invest in companies. The origin is usually a large company of their own that pays dividends or has been sold.
Family offices invest for the next generation of the family, i.e., in decades instead of quarters. Their capital is permanent. Biontech and Curevac are both investments of German family offices - hardly any other investor would have had such staying power!
Family offices work "from person to person". They know from their original companies that employees are the essential capital and work on the basis of trust and handshake quality.

Family equity offers family businesses a tailor-made succession plan that guarantees long-term success and the preservation of the company's identity.
As a genuine family equity investor, the Munich-based Forum Family Office attaches great importance to sustainability, employee development and handshake quality and wants to give your family business a "good home". In contrast to corporations and private equity funds, which often aim for quick profits, FORUM focuses on long-term partnerships and securing the value of the company.

Discover why FORUM is the ideal partner for your family business and how they can help you continue your life's work:
As a family office, we have a capital base that is permanent. FORUM therefore always initially assumes that it will hold an investment permanently.
More about Long termThe basis of the cooperation between our investments and us is trust. We are open, direct, do not play politics and lead in an extremely decentralised way.
more about DecentralWe have ambitious goals for our investments and want to be at the forefront. Because it secures jobs, increases the value of the companies and is fun.
more about entrepreneurialBecause we think in terms of generations, sustainable management is a matter of concern to us. We want the resources we use to have the opportunity to regenerate or grow. We want to give something back to the environment. In doing so, we focus on the environment, our services to customers and our employees.
