From a total number of 102 firms' observation, 79 firms have been selected as sample from the total number of Initial Public Offering (IPO) in Bursa Malaysia Main Market, from 2004 to 2006. From a number of 79 firms, 49 firms have been identified as family owned firms and 30 firms are non-family owned firms. Thus, this study found that family owned firms have significant relationship to the firms' market based performance but have no significant relationship to the firms' accounting based performance.
