On March 23, 2026, Ecosystem Investment Partners, LLC (“EIP”) was named Agri Investor’s 2025 Global Natural Capital Fund Manager of the year. The time period upon which the award was based was 1/25 – 12/25. The award is the opinion of the conferring party, Agri Investor, an affiliate of PEI Group, and not of EIP. Neither Agri Investor nor PEI is affiliated with EIP. EIP did not apply or self-nominate for the award. Agri Investor’s recognition is not indicative of EIP’s future performance. There can be no assurance that other providers would reach the same conclusion as the foregoing. EIP did not provide compensation in connection with obtaining the award; however, it did pay a fee to Agri Investor for a Q&A interview article to be published by Agri Investor and other publishing and copyright fees to promote the award.
From Agri Investor:
Founded in 2006, Ecosystem Investment Partners was an early mover in developing financial structures for institutional investors to back pure-play natural capital strategies.
The firm has carved out a distinct niche for itself in the US conservation space, investing in and delivering returns from complicated landscapes featuring agricultural production, woodlands, wetlands, endangered species and degraded landbanks.
EIP closed its Fund V on $400 million in 2025 against a challenging backdrop for environmental strategies to continue its work, which also includes pursues projects that produce credits used to offset the environmental impact of new infrastructure, industry or property as required by the US legislation.
The firm scored another milestone in August when California’s Placer County recorded easements on EIP’s Raccoon Creek property, delivering early revenue for the project – which was acquired in 2024 – and validating the endangered species component of the asset’s revenue model.
EIP is proud to partner with The Placer County Authority and Placer County Conservation Program (PCCP) to deliver the permanent conservation of over 4,200 acres at the EIP Raccoon Creek property.
