The Timberland Upgrade
Advance your TIMO to meet the sustainability needs of today’s investors
Don’t be the TIMO that gets left behind
✓ You are an experienced Timberland Investment Manager and have built a successful track record with your sustainable timber-optimization investment approach. You follow best practices in sustainable forest management, but investors want more.
✓ It started with things like investors asking you to disclose the carbon stored in the forest assets you manage, but now asset owners are increasing their demands for sustainability objectives, ESG policies, and biodiversity data.
✓ You see your peers adapting to these changes through repositioning themselves and by creating new sustainability-focused timberland investment products.
✓ You want to be a leader in the evolution of the timberland asset class, but you don’t know how to credibly make this transition while remaining true to your production forestry investment thesis.
I can help you.
Attract new investors and expand your investment universe
Imagine you’ve just closed a new investor to your new investment mandate. You easily demonstrate your ability to deliver production forestry financial objectives and sustainability goals simultaneously, giving confidence to new investors.

Your organization is finally all on the same page – your investment managers, foresters, sustainability, and risk experts understand the interplay across different financial and sustainability management objectives and move together towards common goals.
As a result, your credibility and integrity as a forest investment manager is expanding your business.
