Specialist, high conviction food and agri investments
Laguna Bay is an investment firm specialising in food and agriculture in the Australasian region.
About Us
Laguna Bay was established in 2010 and is one of the longest standing agri fund managers in Australia. Our research-driven, value-based investment strategy builds scalable and sustainable food and agribusinesses, to the benefit of all.
We have consistently generated attractive returns by aligning our investor and operating partners in resilient assets and businesses with durable long-term strategies.
Our team includes 10 investment professionals with average industry relevant experience of over 18 years. We serve institutional, wholesale and sophisticated investors.
Strategy
We provide our investment partners with exposure to three key themes – rising food demand, decarbonisation and inflation.
We leverage our deep local networks to source proprietary off-market opportunities and develop business partnerships with top quartile operators. We apply a top down, theme driven approach to our origination activities, while remaining opportunistic.
We typically favour control investments. When we make an investment, we do so with a high degree of conviction. We focus on opportunities where earnings can be grown year-on-year and which are positioned for significant capital appreciation over the longer term.
We’re an active asset manager that seeks to maximise the productive potential of our assets and proactively guide sustainability initiatives.
Responsibility
We believe that sustainability is an opportunity, not just a box to tick. We understand that good sustainability practices work with, not against, good operational practices – together producing synergies which improve performance and enhance value. We also understand the important role we play supporting regional communities, from employment through to succession.
Laguna Bay is a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and Australia’s Nationally Determined Contribution.
