INTEGRITY

We are a fundamental-research, employee-owned investment house. We invest using a thorough in-house research process – free from sell-side research and the herd mentality. Our thinking is independent of the investment community and our opinions often differ greatly from the consensus.

Forest Investment house was established in 2004. We specialize in managing investments through mutual funds (Forest Mutual Funds Ltd – a fully owned subsidiary), managed investment portfolios and private equity funds.

We are not engaged in investment banking, brokerage and prop trading (nostro activities), we have no conflicts of interest to cloud our judgment. Ours is truly an independent investment firm.

Based on our independent research, we strive to make investments where there is significant under-valuation or where there are realistic and meaningful opportunities for growth at reasonable prices. Our research is highly focused on the Israeli stock and bond markets where we believe that market inefficiencies often occur especially in the valuation of small, harder to find, and lesser-known companies.
