BONTERRA PARTNERS

BONTERRA PARTNERS SPECIALIZES IN NATURAL CAPITAL INVESTMENTS THAT CREATE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL, ECOLOGICAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS.

WHO WE ARE

We are Bonterra Partners, a pioneering advisory firm specializing in natural capital investments. Since 2010, we have been at the forefront of developing and evaluating investments that enrich nature long before the concept of “natural capital” became popular in the wider investment community.

We are passionate about catalyzing capital into profitable, sustainable land-use strategies that regenerate our natural ecosystems and local communities. We are committed to making compelling investments in regenerative and sustainable agriculture, sustainable forestry, and other forms of natural capital that generate profits while positively impacting the environment and local communities.

We pride ourselves on being leaders and pioneers in natural capital investing. We help investors make informed investment decisions and create profitable businesses that have a lasting impact on the world.

Join us on this journey to make a difference by investing in the future of our planet. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your investment goals.


OUR MISSION & VALUES

Your mission is also our mission. We take a long-term view and work with you to develop investment strategies that align with your values and goals. Investing in natural capital may seem daunting, but we are here to help you navigate. We are honest and transparent about prospective investment opportunities so you can succeed. If you succeed, our planet also succeeds.

Our philosophy is that investing in natural is both an alpha creation and risk mitigation strategy. Businesses that deliver benefits for society and nature can outperform their competitors and better withstand climate and social shocks, significantly mitigating investors’ financial and reputational risks over the long term. That's why we are dedicated to working with you to find opportunities that create a positive impact across all fronts.

If you are looking for a partner who acts with integrity and is passionate about investing in a better future, you have come to the right place.

We bring integrity and humility to all of our work.”
