European natural capital and timberland investment manager CapMan Natural Capital has successfully completed the first close of its fourth flagship fund - CapMan Dasos European Forest Fund IV, marking a major step in its continued expansion of sustainable forestry assets across Europe. The first closing reflects strong institutional investor interest in long-term, actively managed natural capital strategies as demand grows for timberland and ecosystem-aligned investments. The Fund IV first close underscores confidence in CapMan’s natural capital platform, which focuses on acquiring and managing high-quality European forest assets with an emphasis on sustainability and long-term value creation. The new fund aims to deliver net internal rates of return above 8% by combining active stewardship with biological growth and responsible asset management practices tailored to both financial and environmental goals. CapMan Natural Capital has continued its evolution as a specialist forestry investment team within Nordic asset manager CapMan Oyj, tapping into a broader real assets strategy. The Fund IV raise comes as part of the firm’s ambition to expand its forestry footprint building on previous successful funds and leveraging its expertise in sustainable forest operations and asset aggregation. Fundraising for the vehicle remains open, with the intention of ultimately raising a larger pool of capital than its predecessor funds, which have attracted strong returns and investor interest. CapMan’s natural capital strategy including the Dasos funds is designed to blend financial performance with impactful stewardship of forest ecosystems, aligning with growing investor demand for nature-aligned and responsible investment solutions. The new Fund IV is set to channel capital into quality European forestry assets where active management, conservation-focused practices and long-term timber and ecosystem value converge. #NaturalCapital #ForestryInvestment #SustainableInvesting #CapMan #FundIV #Timberland #EuropeanAssets #ForestFund #ImpactInvesting #RealAssets #InstitutionalInvestors #ESG
