Investing with strong secular tailwinds
We focus on partnering with best-in-class, local operators to invest in agriculture and timber assets in investment-friendly jurisdictions around the world. A high component of land, water or biological assets typically underpin our investments and add to downside protection. We also seek to invest in opportunities well poised to benefit from secular trends driving continued demand growth and increasingly constrained supply.
Leveraging its expertise in commodity-based businesses, the group’s mandate has expanded to include critical minerals.
