“Forests cover one-quarter of the world’s land mass and hold as much carbon as the atmosphere, making them the most important ecosystem for the global carbon cycle.”

Protect natural forests from logging

Reduce atmospheric CO2

As a natural carbon sink, forests play a vital role in the fight against climate change through carbon sequestration. Forestry is a proven long-term investment with low correlation to capital markets, positively correlated with inflation and the flexibility to change the maturity date.

The Climate Endowment Forestry Fund is a next generation timber fund employing a 100% afforestation / reforestation, across Australia and New Zealand, to achieve true additionality according to clear biodiversity and ESG criteria. We seek to have all forest under management certified with an

internationally recognized forestry certification.

The proposed portfolio will have considerable genetic, species, and geographic diversification across multiple timber strategies to achieve plantations with strong resilience against pests, diseases and extreme weather conditions resulting from climate change.

BENEFITS

Proven long-term profitable investment and focus on high impact strategies in stable jurisdictions

Historically low correlation with capital markets and positively correlated with inflation

Flexibility to choose maturity via harvest date

All forests managed with forest certification, additionality achieved through stringent criteria and transparency across the whole supply chain

Upside potential through significant corporate uptake of carbon credits and future environmental policies such as carbon taxes

Team of experienced forest managers with a 20+ year global track record and sound returns across 9 funds and 15 mandates

WHAT WE CAN OFFER

DEEP INDUSTRY NETWORK, SOLID RETURNS, LIMITED DOWNSIDE, CO₂ REDUCTION

TRIPLE TARGET

The Fund targets a yield of 7-8% p.a. while asset composition also considers maximizing carbon capture and preserving native biodiversity.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXPERIENCED TEAM

Forest manager with 20+ year track record in forestry investments across the target geographies, having invested $3.9bn across 9 funds and 15 mandates).

SIGNIFICANT CO₂ CAPTURE

Forests are one of the most efficient carbon sinks and are vital in the fight against climate change and limiting temperature rises to below 2°.

CLEAR AND ROBUST FRAMEWORK

A stringent sustainability framework to guide the acquisition, ownership, and reporting of assets.

AFFORESTATION / REFORESTATION

100% allocation toward greenfield strategies to maximise climate impact and contribute to increase in global tree cover through conversion of degraded pasture land.

LOW RISK

Asset location largely allocated to safe jurisdictions such as Australia and New Zealand. All of which our forest managers have a history of sound returns and ongoing operations.
