Earth Capital Partners LLP (ECP) announce the arrival of their sustainable agriculture team: Bosworth Monck joins as Head of Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry investment for ECP, along with Gabriel Montana and Richard Smith who both join as Partners at the firm.

The new team will advise on agriculture, forestry and biodiversity investments, with a particular focus on deploying capital in Latin America. ECP plans to launch a series of institutional grade funds in these areas, each with appropriate risk-return characteristics and low correlation to traditional asset classes.

Stanley Fink, Non-Executive chairman of ECP commented, "Appointing this new agriculture team takes us one step closer to having a diversified range of sustainable investment opportunities for institutional investors. One of the positive developments to come out of Copenhagen was an agreement regarding deforestation and reforestation, and this will make the sector even more attractive for investors. ECP's Earth Dividend™ adds another layer of value in this sector clearly differentiating our product from others in the market"
