ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 23, 2024--
Domain Capital Group, LLC, a comprehensive private investment management services firm, today announced its subsidiary, Domain Timber Advisors, LLC, (DTA), was selected by Fulcrum Asset Management (Fulcrum) to lead sustainable investments in natural capital, as part of Fulcrum’s ‘Panel of Illiquid Specialists’ for its new illiquid assets capability.
The Fulcrum-Domain relationship represents the latest in a series, each designed specifically for UK DC pension plans within Fulcrum's illiquid capability. Fulcrum has invested significantly to bring together a panel of specialist private market managers from around the world for UK DC pensions. The panel spans private equity (including venture capital), value-add real estate, value-add infrastructure, natural resources and private credit.
The partnership is designed to achieve financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals through strategic investments in U.S. forestland. All properties acquired will meet stringent sustainability standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification program.
“Over the past two years, our teams have worked diligently to craft a unique investment platform focused on acquiring and managing U.S. forestland assets within an evergreen investment structure,” said Joe Sanderson, managing director and CEO of natural resources at Domain Timber Advisors. “This approach allows us to enhance biodiversity and other ecological qualities of forestland while delivering long-term financial success.”
Expected long-term ecological impacts include increasing biodiversity through longleaf pine restoration and preserving high conservation value forestland. While the primary focus of forestland acquisitions will be in the U.S. South, Domain Timber Advisors will consider opportunities across all timber-producing regions.
Matt Roberts, Head of Fulcrum Alternative Solutions says, “this represents an exciting new strategy for our private markets offering. Domain's focus on sustainability and smaller lot size deals are very appealing facets of the mandate. Fulcrum Alternative Solutions identifies excellent private market specialists and works to make them accessible for UK DC pension plans and other institutions. We believe managers like Domain offer both a compelling return opportunity and can help contribute to biodiversity improvement through, for example, reintroducing native species and improving certification standards.”
