FPM Finanzierungs- und Projektmanagement

FPM Finanzierungs- und Projektmanagement

Founded and led by Klaus März from its base in Weinfelden, Thurgau, FPM Finanzierungs- und Projektmanagement AG operates as a minority investor in owner-led, mid-market businesses across the German-speaking region. The firm does not seek majority positions. Instead, it uses capital increases to inject funds directly into a company's development, ensuring that existing management teams remain the sole operators and retain full entrepreneurial responsibility. FPM's investment criteria require a proven management team with significant equity ownership, clear competitive advantages, and a realistic valuation. The firm does not take operational roles, but its principals serve on supervisory or advisory boards, working alongside management on operational improvements, innovation, and geographic expansion. Publicly known associated entities include Aroba Immobilien AG and Horto Immobilien AG, both commercial real estate holdings based in Weinfelden. FPM's mandate is concentrated in the DACH region, with headquarters in Switzerland. The firm's known leadership includes founder Klaus März and business partner Dr. Roland Keller, who are also linked through co-directorships in real estate vehicles. Klaus März maintains membership in the PGA Business Division, an unconventional network connection for a private-market investor that may reflect a distinct sourcing angle. The firm participates in philanthropy through the ETH Zurich Foundation and the Gorbachev Foundation. FPM's explicitly stated refusal to take majority control or operational roles differentiates it from typical buyout managers. The firm's founding principle — that sustainability and returns are complementary, not conflicting — suggests a long-duration holding strategy for family- and founder-run businesses that value governance independence above a capital exit.
