The Sustainable Forestry and Natural Capital Fund (SFNC) managed by Timberland Investment Resources Europe (TIR) is dedicated to investing in U.S. working forests, with an emphasis on the US South. The Fund aims to generate long-term financial returns and environmental benefits, targeting an annual return of 8-10% and a cash yield of 3%. It focuses on sustainable timber production, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem services, with investments that will allow investors to meet their ESG and impact objectives. The Fund's assets will be managed under strict sustainability standards, contributing to the achievement of several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SFNC is an Article 9 fund in terms of the classifications created by the European Union's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), i.e. a fund that has sustainable investment as its main objective. It aims to generate positive environmental or social impact alongside financial returns.

TIR has started fundraising for SFNC and plans to close the fund by June 2025.
