Room 151 sits down with Jeff Zweig, Partner, Vice Chair, Head of Natural Capital (Agriculture and Timberland), to discuss Fiera Comox’s Global Timberland Strategy and the increasing demand for natural capital assets, as investors look to diversify portfolios and capitalise on sustainable, long-term growth opportunities.

Natural capital assets have become one of the most discussed trends this year. What is driving the growing investor demand for these assets?

Investors continue to recognize the value of including natural capital assets within a balanced portfolio.

The asset class has historically delivered strong risk-adjusted returns, has attractive underlying supply/demand fundamentals, can deliver positive contributions to people and planet through the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and forms part of the global climate solution. Taken together, it creates a compelling case to be included within the construction of a portfolio.
