Get To Know Us

Tailored Investments

Peoples Company's Capital Markets team specializes in structuring sophisticated farmland investment opportunities, connecting owners, operators, and investors in this thriving asset class.

Why Farmland?

The farmland asset class, valued at nearly $4 trillion, has seen significant growth in institutional and professional investor engagement over the past two decades. Farmland investments offer unique characteristics such as low to negative correlation with public equities, providing a protective hedge against unexpected declines in equity values and inflation, solid long-term total returns, and low volatility.

The expanding opportunities to invest in farmland result from minimal debt usage, increasing capital requirements, and demographic trends pointing to ownership turnover. Peoples Company's Capital Markets team has a proven track record in initiating land investments in conventional row crop production, value-added organic systems, and tax-advantaged permanent crop assets.
