Gresham House expands forestry investment in Australasia

Friday 22 Aug 2025

 
Gresham House, a UK-based alternative asset manager, is making a bold move to direct a significant portion of its global forestry funds toward Australia and New Zealand. The firm is planning to allocate up to 40% of its global forest investments into these regions as part of its strategy to capitalise on timberland, afforestation, and carbon-related projects.

Tony Dalwood, the CEO of Gresham House, spoke to Agri Investor recently, confirming these plans. “We’ve got very good track records now in Australia and New Zealand,” Dalwood said, underscoring the firm’s solid foundation in the region.

The firm’s increased interest is strongly aligned with the newly established Nature Repair Market in Australia. This market offers investors the opportunity to earn biodiversity credits by supporting environmental restoration projects, further enhancing the sustainability appeal of these investments.

Dalwood mentioned that the company is keen on tapping into emerging markets like biodiversity credits, which ties in with Gresham House’s broader sustainability strategy. This strategy, outlined in its 2024 Sustainability Investment Report, emphasises not just carbon forestry, but also vertical farming and habitat banking as pillars of its commitment to what it calls “the sustainability economy.”
