AcreTrader Launches New Farmland Investment Fund for Wider Access

AcreTrader Launches Proterra AcreTrader Farmland Fund LP

AcreTrader LLC, a leading farmland investment platform, has unveiled its latest venture, the Proterra AcreTrader Farmland Fund LP, aiming to broaden access to investment-grade farmland as an asset class. This innovative fund is structured as an open-ended vehicle through a private, non-traded REIT, which allows for increased efficiency and flexibility for investors.

Expanding Investment Opportunities

The introduction of this fund supplements AcreTrader’s established platform that facilitates direct farmland investments, catering to investors seeking diversification. The Proterra AcreTrader Farmland Fund LP will focus on investment-grade farmland located in prime agricultural regions across the United States. With farmland known for its negative correlation to financial assets, this fund aims to provide an attractive risk-adjusted return through both capital appreciation and lease income.

Rich Gammill, Managing Partner of Proterra, expressed enthusiasm about the fund's launch: "This represents a significant expansion of the AcreTrader platform and showcases the integration of our teams. The fund synergizes Proterra's institutional fund management experience with AcreTrader's innovative sourcing and underwriting capabilities. We are excited to leverage our position as a leading global food and agriculture asset manager to offer AcreTrader's expertise to a broader investor base."

Proven Track Record

Since its inception, AcreTrader has successfully invested and managed over $311 million in U.S. row crop farmland assets across 147 investments. The company has demonstrated remarkable performance, achieving 17 full-cycle realizations across 12 states and returning over $26 million to its investors through capital gain and lease income. Investors can look forward to a comprehensive list of exits available on the AcreTrader website.

By offering this new fund, AcreTrader enables more investors to access high-quality farmland investments, which have historically yielded robust returns. Through their established relationships with professional operators in the agricultural sector, AcreTrader strives to optimize returns while minimizing risk for investors.
