UB Nordic Forest Funds are private equity funds investing in forest properties and targeted for professional investors. The funds practice sustainable forestry and aim for a stable cash flow and a steady value appreciation independent of the stock market.

 

UB Nordic Forest Fund I Ky was founded in 2014 and the fund’s forest holdings located in Finland were sold to a new owner in June 2020. UB Nordic Forest Fund II was founded in 2015. The fund has also invested in forest properties in Finland, and the fund is closed to new investments. UB Nordic Forest Fund III Ky was launched in December 2018 and the fund invests in forest properties in Finland and the Baltics. The fund was closed to new investments in 2021.

The objective is to achieve stable returns responsibly

The practice of sustainable forestry is at the heart of UB Nordic Forest Fund's operations. The funds aim for a stable return through harvesting income and the value appreciation of tree stands. A precisely targeted acquisition and harvesting strategy optimizes the return on invested capital. The investment strategy is to emphasize forest properties with attractive value growth potential, where return is accumulated from volume growth of trees and added value from roundwood assortment shifts. The objective is to distribute annually the previous year's profit to the unit holders.

 

The UB Nordic Forest Funds are sustainable funds in accordance with Article 9 of the SFDR and are committed to making sustainable investments aligned with the EU taxonomy. The forests owned by the funds are all certified (PEFC™ and/or FSC® (FSC Finland C109750). Through certification, we can demonstrate that the management of our forests is economically, socially and ecologically sustainable.
