Gresham Partners has re-entered the investment market, launching a $160 million poultry fund in partnership with AAM Investment Group, according to the Australian Financial Review. The fund aims to capitalize on growing demand for poultry protein in Australia.
The fund, named the AAM Poultry Fund, will focus on acquiring and developing poultry farms and processing facilities. Gresham, a boutique investment bank, had previously exited the market but is now returning with this agricultural venture.
AAM Investment Group, which manages over $1 billion in agricultural assets, will oversee the fund's operations. The partnership targets institutional investors seeking exposure to the stable and growing poultry sector.
This move reflects increasing investor interest in Australian agriculture, particularly protein production, as global demand for food rises. The fund is expected to close later this year.
