BTG Pactual TIG Raises $370 Million for Latin America Timberland Strategy
Mark Segal

BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (BTG Pactual TIG) announced that it has raised $370 million in commitments for its newest core Latin America strategy, focused on large-scale, sustainably managed, core timberland assets across Chile, Uruguay and Brazil.
The firm said that it is targeting investment of $1.5 billion for the new strategy over 5 years.
BTG Pactual TIG was formed in 2013 following the acquisition by investment bank BTG Pactual of timberland asset management companies TTG Brasil and Regions Timberland Group. The company is one of the largest global timberland investment managers, with 3 million acres under management across the U.S., and Latin America and $7.5 billion in assets and commitments. The firm seeks to deliver sustainable timberland investments to institutional investors at scale.
In addition to ideal growing conditions, BTG Pactual TIG said that Latin America has among the largest areas of land potentially available for reforestation, enabling the achievement of positive impact at scale while generating benefits for investors and communities.
Matheus Moura, Head of Latin America Investment Management, BTG Pactual TIG, said:
“This first close reinforces our conviction in Latin America as a compelling opportunity for timberland investment, due to its unique biological and structural attributes. At the same time, rising local demand and continued institutional investor interest for natural capital investments—including natural climate solutions, carbon credits, and inflation-resilient real assets—continue to support our long-term view.”
According to BTG Pactual TIG, the new strategy aims to capitalize on Latin America’s favorable growing conditions, technologically advanced forest products industries, and strong domestic and export markets, while incorporating a dedicated impact framework drawing on the region’s significant opportunities for climate, community, and biodiversity benefits, as well as the firm’s own sustainability expertise.
Gerrity Lansing, Head, BTG Pactual TIG, said:
“Our newest core Latin America strategy builds on decades of work across the region, where our teams have deep experience in local markets, transaction structuring, sustainable forest management, and in-country legal frameworks. These capabilities have helped us build and manage scaled timberland platforms across Latin America and drive strategic outcomes. We aim to advance our long-term, diligent approach to deliver essential renewable materials, and make a positive impact as a competitive market actor.”
