Blueprint Forest is an independently managed multi-family office serving the principals of the firm and industry-leading business families that average over 100 years of operating history.
Entrusted to extend intergenerational wealth, we are on a lifelong journey to learn and invest patiently across multiple asset classes globally by performing deep research and building intimate relationships with select people we trust, understand, and admire.
Core Values
We believe the following core values are the architectural pillars that will sustain our pursuit of long-term Excellence:
- Ownership
- We manage our funds as if it’s our own, because it is - our net worth is almost entirely invested in our funds. With full alignment with our investors, we simply uphold the highest sense of ownership and dedication to fund performance.
- Trust
- We build long-lasting and trusting relationships with both portfolio companies and investors. As our portfolio companies require us to trust their management capabilities, we similarly are entrusted by our investors to discretionarily manage their capital.
- Learning
- Life-long learning is an obligation that we enjoy. We seek to understand new phenomenon and experiences with deep curiosity. We are focused on the steady accumulation of knowledge and wisdom.
- Rationality
- Rational and scientific thinking underpin our decision-making process to maximize our long-term interests. We remain investigative and skeptical of fundamental information throughout our rigorous research efforts.
- Unity
- In the spirit of win-win partnerships, we hope to build and maintain meaningful relationships internally and externally while practicing humility, empathy, and trust.
- Positivity
- We do what we love and love what we do. We hope to share this passion with those around us and create a sense of belonging for those who have joined us on our journey. We collectively strive to create positive impact in the world.
Team
Founded by Kai Lam and Schwin Chiaravanont, our team is based in Thailand and China. Our principals serve on the boards of several portfolio companies and advise several multi-billion dollar owner-operated companies. We help where we can be helpful and uphold the enduring spirit of win-win partnerships.
Funds
Active strategies managed by Blueprint Forest include our Southeast Asia focused private equity and distressed debt platform 9 Basil, our global public equities fund Lossless Capital, our Asia-focused value fund Open Forest, and our North American Real Assets Platform Axia. Each strategy is operated by dedicated, world class investment professionals. To ensure alignment across our funds, each fund reserves the right of first refusal on all investments within its mandate. We are value oriented and aim to invest in long-term, win-win partnerships.
Our flagship open-ended fund has a global mandate and flexible asset class selection. We have no investment mandate and manage the fund as our own portfolio – because it is. In other words, the Managing Partners exclusively make investments through the fund, and investors are able to replicate our portfolio through Blueprint Forest.
