Fund Placement

Distinguishing a private equity fund in a crowded marketplace requires proper positioning. Forum works most effectively with fund management teams well in advance of entering the market to streamline the marketing process and minimize the time clients spend fundraising.

Secondary Transactions

In addition to our core fund placement services, Forum advises fund sponsors experiencing dislocation within their investor bases and intermediates creative, collaborative solutions designed to address the objectives of all parties.

Direct and Co-Investments

As the private equity landscape has changed over the past few years, the independent or “fundless” sponsor market has grown considerably, as has institutional LP appetite for direct private equity transactions.
