Founded in 2009, SLM Partners is a specialist real assets manager investing in agriculture and forestry. We currently manage funds and separate accounts for institutional investors and family offices, investing across Europe, the United States and Australia.
Our mission is to scale up regenerative agriculture and sustainable forestry. Our strategies generate financial returns alongside positive measurable impact on carbon storage, biodiversity, soil health, water and local communities.
Our Investment Approach
our philosophy
We believe that truly sustainable financial returns can only be achieved if we protect and restore the natural capital we depend on.
-
SLM Partners invests in organic row crops across the US Midwest region. We partner with skilled organic operators, offering long-term access to land and sharing some of the financial risks of organic transition.
-
SLM Partners invests in regenerative tree crop systems for the production of nuts, olives and other speciality crops. We are working with a number of growers using regenerative practices in orchards in Iberia and California. These systems can be profitable while storing carbon and improving soil health.
-
SLM Partners invests in grassland in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. By implementing holistic planned grazing, we can mimic the behaviour of large herds of herbivores in natural environmental. This leads to improved soil health and soil carbon sequestration.
-
SLM Partners invests in European forestry, transitioning clear-fell systems to Continuous Cover Forestry. Under this system, forest cover and woodland conditions are maintained permanently and trees are felled individually or in small groups. This systems benefits from steadier income streams, higher resilience to climate and pest risks and improved environmental outcomes related to biodiversity and carbon storage.
OUR STRATEGIES
We invest in real assets, usually land, and partner with skilled farmers and foresters to bring that land under ecological management.
