Thesis
Blue Forest Asset Management (BFAM), launched in 2022 as the investment arm of the non-profit Blue Forest (founded 2015), focuses on advancing ecosystem restoration through financial innovation. BFAM's investment strategy targets the forestry value chain, from harvesting to utilization, aiming to build capacity for forest restoration and wildfire risk reduction. They invest in private equity and private debt instruments, primarily in the Western U.S., with a strong emphasis on California through the California Wildfire Innovation Fund (CWIF). The CWIF's AUM grew from $18 million to $48 million in 2023. BFAM also aims to scale its Forest Resilience Bond (FRB) projects, with deal sizes historically ranging from $15 million to $50 million. The firm emphasizes collaboration, science-based evaluation, regenerative natural resource stewardship, and rural workforce development. BFAM operates under the legal name Blue Forest Finance Inc. and is headquartered in Sacramento, California.
