Managing Director & Partner

2011 - 2012

FfM was founded in order to launch a hedge fund with a long/short investment strategy focussing on the "Hidden Champions" of the German Mittelstand. Michael was responsible for setting up the complete structure of the FfM group and the Fund (Malta) and acted as investment manager of the Fund as well. The fund was supported by a German bank with an excellent track record in capital market transactions (designated sponsoring, fixed income, equity sales and research, and corporate finance) in the small and mid cap segment. The fund started well, but marketing unfortunately had to be stopped as the parent company of the strategic partner no longer supported alternative investment strategies.
