Fund Strategy
The Fund was launched in July 2012 with the goal of acquiring a unique AgTech group focused on dairy, based in New Zealand but operating globally. With the support of co-investor AGR, backed by the Canadian Teachers Fund, the group has grown through acquisitions. In 2019, a major business segment was sold to a Swiss investment group.
Using a dynamic and nimble strategy, the Fund aims to navigate market cycles and maximize returns from the remaining business.
The Fund is currently closed to new applications.
