KEIRETSU FORUM: Academy For Investors

The Keiretsu Forum Academy for Investors was created in August
2004 by and for our members. Its objective is to provide
education to our members on private equity investing. These
half-day sessions are held monthly and are of tremendous value to
our members.

"I very much enjoy the Academy meetings," said Heinz Blennemann,
Keiretsu Forum San Francisco member. "They really help new
members come up to speed and get to know other Keiretsu Forum
members."
