Forest Investment Associates

Investment thesis

FIA follows a three-part timberland investment strategy aimed at delivering target returns. It builds broadly diversified client portfolios spread across locations, age classes, tree species and markets, using a global approach to hedge timber price risk and natural hazards such as fire and storms. The firm practices active, intensive forest management focused on high-quality, productive properties to maximize biological growth and financial yield, while also pursuing non-timber values like hunting, recreation, mitigation banking and conservation. Disposition planning begins at acquisition, with portfolios constructed and managed toward eventual exit to maximize the marketability and liquidity of client properties.
