The Orange Ridge Capital Timberland Strategy is aimed at achieving attractive risk-adjusted total returns, generate current income, preserve capital investment and realize long-term appreciation by acquiring, developing, and managing timber assets and or timber businesses located in the Americas, Australasia, and Europe.

Important other return drivers are rising global timber demand due to world population growth land appreciation due to the scarcity of arable land – arable land is finite and carbon sequestration.
Carbon Sequestration, Carbon Credits & Carbon Capture And Sequestration Platform
Forests absorb and store carbon and play a crucial role in mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Forest owners may sell their carbon credits as they are sequestered across part of the forest's life, generating diversified revenue in addition to the sustainable harvest of softwood logs. Orange Ridge Capital facilitates the sale of carbon credits to third-parties seeking to offset their carbon emissions.
Orange Ridge Capital is collaborating to set up a proprietary Carbon Capture and Sequestration platform. The holistic approach maximizes carbon offsets and enables investment optimization through dynamic carbon asset management, positioning the company as a leader in next-generation timberland.
Timberland Portfolio Construction
Timberland investment portfolios can be structured to meet a flexible array of investment objectives, such as liability matching of pension funds by aligning timber asset sales and/or timber income with future pensions expenses by e.g. matching a variety of mature timber age classes as pension funds are keener on securing income than capital appreciation. Timberland cash yields may comprise a third to a half of the total return over the life of an investment depending on the nature of the underlying property.
