Fulcrum Asset Management (“Fulcrum”) is pleased to announce the latest addition to its ‘Panel of Illiquid Specialists’ for its new Long Term Asset Fund (LTAF). Domain Timber Advisors, LLC, a subsidiary of Domain Capital Group, LLC (“Domain”) has been selected as a global leader in value-add timber investing. The firm has a long history of conducting timber and environmental restoration projects in developed markets.
Fulcrum has invested significantly to bring together a panel of specialist private market managers from around the world for its LTAF, specifically collated for UK DC pension plans. The panel spans private equity (including venture capital), value-add real estate, value-add infrastructure, natural resources and private credit.
The Fulcrum-Domain partnership will seek 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.
Expected long-term ecological impacts include strengthening properties by 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 said:
“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.”
Joe Sanderson, Managing Director and CEO of natural resources at Domain Timber Advisors, commented:
“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. This approach allows us to enhance biodiversity and other ecological attributes of forestland while delivering sustainable financial outcomes.”
