Additionally, Ceres Partners invests in early to mid-stage growth companies in the food and agriculture technology space through its private equity arm, and has expanded to include water resource investments. The firm manages approximately $1.85 billion in AUM across over 500 U.S. farmland properties, with its flagship Ceres Evergreen Farmland Fund at $1.6 billion. In July 2025, WisdomTree, Inc. announced its definitive agreement to acquire Ceres Partners, LLC, a transaction completed in October 2025, marking WisdomTree's entry into private asset markets.
