Stafford Capital Partners Honoured with Six Awards at the 2026 Agri Investor Global Awards

London, 23 March 2026 – Stafford Capital Partners (Stafford), a leading international private markets investment and advisory firm, is proud to accept multiple awards at the 2026 Agri Investor Global Awards. Stafford received top recognition across several categories, reflecting a significant year for the firm for its fund management, equity fundraising, and deployment activities.

Independently, Stafford was awarded:
· Fund Manager of the Year (Europe)
· Equity Fundraise of the Year (Europe)

Stafford, alongside co-investment partners Climate Asset Management (CAM) and EFM Investment & Advisory (EFM), was also honoured with four awards for the landmark Project Olympic Rainforest transaction:
· Deal of the Year (Global)
· Timberland Deal of the Year (Global)
· Deal of the Year (Americas)
· Timberland Deal of the Year (Americas)

In addition, Stafford was named runner-up for:
· Fund Manager of the Year (Global)
· Timberland Fund Manager of the Year (Global)

These awards follow a memorable year for the firm where Stafford demonstrated global leadership in timberland investment. This includes the successful closing of two major timberland vehicles in 2025, each exceeding USD 1 billion.

A special highlight is the recognition for Project Olympic Rainforest, a collaboration between Stafford, CAM and EFM. The project demonstrates how a consortium of leading natural capital investors came together, alongside a broader group of partners, to successfully structure and close a large‑scale, innovative natural capital investment. We believe this sets a benchmark for future transactions in this sector. The project reflects a compelling balance between commercial returns and environmental stewardship, underpinned by long-term offtake agreements and strong community engagement to deliver meaningful environmental and financial outcomes.

Stephen Addicott, Co-Managing Partner of Stafford Capital Partners commented: “We are incredibly proud to receive these awards, which reflect the hard work of our team and the strength of our partnerships. The Olympic Rainforest project is a great example of how natural capital strategies can deliver real environmental benefits while also creating long-term value for investors. At Stafford, we’ve spent over 20 years building a track record in sustainable timberland investments through placing institutional capital in this sector and delivering diversified and stable returns to our clients. Our approach is grounded in our commitment to continue to make positive impact at scale.”

With a timberland footprint of 6.3 million acres across the US, Australia, New Zealand and LATAM and USD 4.0 billion in timberland assets under management, Stafford continues to lead the way in delivering global, sustainable solutions for institutional investors. Over the past 20+ years, Stafford has built a proven track record in sustainable timberland investments, delivering stable, diversified returns for its global clients while seeking to deliver measurable positive impact for the environment and broader society.
