AcreTrader Expands Platform with Institutional Farmland Fund
AcreTrader, now a Proterra farmland investment platform, has announced the debut of the Proterra AcreTrader Farmland Fund LP. This new vehicle aims to provide a streamlined way for investors to gain exposure to high-quality U.S. farmland, an asset class traditionally known for its low correlation with broader financial markets.
The fund functions as a complement to the existing AcreTrader direct investment model. By utilizing a private, non-traded REIT structure, the fund offers a more flexible investment experience compared to individual property offerings, including simplified tax reporting and a focus on long-term capital appreciation.
Synergy Between AcreTrader and Proterra Expertise
The launch follows the 2025 acquisition of AcreTrader by Proterra Investment Partners, a global alternative asset manager with over $3.4 billion in assets. The fund represents a merger of Proterra’s institutional management history with the data-driven sourcing and underwriting technology developed by the AcreTrader team.
