Revenue model

1. Natural Capital Fund Management: Climate Asset Management manages natural capital funds generating returns through diversified revenue streams including timber sales from sustainable forestry, agricultural commodity sales (almonds, olives, pistachios, walnuts, macadamias), carbon credit generation and sales, biodiversity credit monetization, and ecosystem service payments. The firm charges management fees and potentially performance fees on deployed capital.
2. Nature Based Carbon Fund Management: The Nature Based Carbon Fund generates returns through sale of high-integrity carbon credits from landscape restoration and conservation projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Revenue comes from carbon credit offtake agreements with corporate buyers seeking net-zero solutions.

Core offering

Climate Asset Management manages institutional natural capital investment funds across two strategies: the Natural Capital Strategy, which invests in regenerative agriculture (almond, olive, pistachio, walnut, and macadamia farmland) and sustainable forestry assets in developed markets (Europe, Australasia, North America), and the Nature Based Carbon Strategy, which finances large-scale landscape conservation and restoration projects in the Global South to generate high-integrity carbon credits. The firm combines commodity income from timber and agricultural produce with ecosystem-service revenues such as carbon credits, biodiversity credits, and ecosystem service payments, while applying proprietary TCFD-aligned climate risk frameworks throughout the investment lifecycle.

Product overview

Climate Asset Management operates two complementary investment strategies: the Natural Capital Strategy (investing in regenerative agriculture and sustainable forestry in developed markets via Natural Capital Fund I) and the Nature Based Carbon Strategy (investing in landscape restoration and carbon credit generation in the Global South via the Nature Based Carbon Fund). These are implemented through specific projects including Project Paradise (regenerative macadamia orchard in Australia), Project Olympic Rainforest (climate-smart forestry in the U.S. Pacific Northwest), the Restore Africa Programme, and the Kajiado Rangelands Carbon Project. The firm also produces thought leadership publications including the Voluntary Carbon Market Mobilisation Guide. Together, these products deliver diversified cash flows from commodity income (timber, nuts), carbon credits, and ecosystem service revenues while generating measurable biodiversity and climate impact.

Direct peers

• Manulife Investment Management — Timberland: Manulife's Timberland group manages a major global timberland portfolio with a strong U.S. Pacific Northwest and Australasia tilt, broadly comparable to CAM's Natural Capital Strategy geographic and asset mix.
• Mirova Natural Capital: Mirova's dedicated natural capital fund invests in regenerative agriculture, sustainable forestry, and ecosystem restoration across developed and emerging markets, making it the closest pure-play peer to Climate Asset Management's two-strategy model.
• Campbell Global: U.S.-based timberland and natural resource investment manager with significant Pacific Northwest holdings, serving similar institutional LPs with comparable forestry-plus-impact mandates.
• BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group: Global timberland asset manager with Brazilian and emerging-markets forestry exposure, comparable in operating-partner model and natural-asset focus to CAM's NCF I and NBCF strategies.
• Hancock Natural Resource Group: One of the world's largest timberland and agriculture investment managers, with deep Pacific Northwest forestry exposure comparable to CAM's Olympic Rainforest asset and similar institutional LP base.
• New Forests: Australia-headquartered investment manager of timberland and natural capital assets, including direct co-investment alongside Climate Asset Management in Queensland macadamia assets; structurally similar Pacific/Australian timberland and carbon strategy.

Emerging players

• Anthym (formerly Pivotal Earth): Earlier-stage natural capital asset and project management firm focusing on ecosystem restoration and impact investing; overlaps with CAM's carbon and restoration mandates at a smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• AXA IM Alts: A large, diversified real-assets platform spanning infrastructure, real estate, and natural capital; its natural capital strategy overlaps with CAM but as one of many strategies rather than a dedicated focus.
• Brookfield Asset Management — Sustainable Resources: A major global real-assets and sustainable resources investor with forestry and agriculture exposure; overlaps with CAM at the asset-class level but operates across a vastly broader mandate.

Others

• Pollination: Climate and nature advisory firm and JV co-founder of CAM, providing natural capital advisory, deal origination, and strategic support — an ecosystem enabler rather than a competing asset manager.
