Natural capital investment
Demand for forest products, and thus for fibre and logs, is driven by several macro trends; global demand for wood is increasing steadily. Based on long-term historical data, wood prices have increased over inflation rate. Forest product demand and price trends are positive for forest investment, with considerable regional and country variations.
Demand for forest services, such as biodiversity and climate change mitigation, is increasing.
Sustainability
We promote sustainability and natural capital outcomes as management objectives and actively integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into portfolio management.
We aim at enhancing asset value based on sustainable practices while mitigating environmental, social and governance risks to our value proposition
We are committed to known international standards and practices in ESG reporting and independent assessment of sustainability.
Clients
We act as an investment advisor to institutional investors, endowments, private banks, family offices and other professional clients interested in sustainable, climate smart international forest resource investing.
