Strategy Overview
Investment Approach
Our Timberland Strategy seeks to develop a portfolio of timber investments diversified across geographies, species, and age-classes, while offering an attractive risk return profile to investors. We invest in timberland primarily in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The fund is focused on high-quality timberland with a history of production in stable geographies, aimed at generating value from the sale of logs and carbon credits, as well as capital appreciation. The Fund will also act purposefully to enhance sustainability outcomes on its timberland properties by employing leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) management standards and practices.

Key Characteristics
- High-quality, land-based timber assets, providing a core risk exposure to the asset class

- Additional value added from active asset management of the timberland, incorporating operational improvement and technology
- Incremental non-correlated revenue stream from the sale of carbon credits
- Geographical, species and age class diversification allows the diversification of idiosyncratic risk
- Strong ESG focus by maintaining or implementing internationally recognised sustainable forest management certification and integrating ESG considerations at every stage of our investment and underwriting processes
