New Forests

New Forests is an investment management and advisory services firm specialising in forestry and land-based environmental markets, such as timber, carbon, biodiversity and water. New Forests is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.

Investment Management

New Forests acts as an asset and fund manager on behalf of institutional and private equity clients investing in forestry assets and land-based environmental markets. New Forests' forestry investment strategy seeks to deliver traditional timber returns plus returns from environmental markets, such as certified timber and carbon trading. The eco product investment strategy generates returns primarily from the sale of environmental credits in regulatory and voluntary markets for carbon, water and biodiversity. New Forests supports commingled funds and individual investment accounts.

Advisory Services

New Forests Advisory provides strategic and technical advice related to emerging environmental markets for forestry and soil carbon, biodiversity restoration and protection and water-quality improvements. Key areas of expertise include: feasibility studies for reduced emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) and other forestry carbon project types; biological and financial analysis of carbon, water and biodiversity assets; investment and route-to-market strategies for land-based environmental credits; and policy advice for private sector, government and NGO clients.
