Global Perspective Experience

Global Forest Partners LP is one of the oldest and largest timber investment management organizations. Its direct predecessor, industry pioneer Resource Investments Inc. ("RII"), was founded in 1982 and purchased by UBS in 1995. GFP is the successor firm to RII and UBS Timber Investors, and was formed via management buyout from UBS in September 2003. GFP currently manages a globally diverse USD2.0 billion portfolio of closed-end commingled timberfunds on behalf of institutional and other qualified investors.

GFP believes that astute plantation forestry investments in globally competitive timber-producing regions can enhance portfolio return while reducing overall risk. As a result, we have developed an unmatched global footprint in areas of strategic interest to the firm. In addition to our West Lebanon, New Hampshire headquarters, GFP has another US office in Charlotte, North Carolina. Outside the US, GFP equity holders and investment managers are located in Santiago, Chile, Curitiba, Brazil, and Auckland, New Zealand.
