Fayetteville, Ark., June 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AcreTrader, the land investment platform at the intersection of agriculture, tech and finance, announced today its strategic alliance with Gridline, the alternative asset platform revolutionizing the private market investing experience. The alliance heralds a new, approachable way to invest in United States farm and timberland for registered investment advisors (RIAs), family offices and other wealth management professionals.
Both individually, and through this collaboration, AcreTrader and Gridline aim to make high-quality alternative assets more obtainable. While looking for a solution to expand access to farm and timberland, AcreTrader was struck by Gridline’s expertise in providing investors with diversified portfolio exposure to historically exclusive and prohibitively expensive private market opportunities.
“Because most farmland sales occur in private transactions, having a strong network in the industry is critical to sourcing high-quality investment opportunities. In addition to providing a robust pipeline of opportunities, AcreTrader delivers valuable diligence insights that will inform Gridline’s portfolio construction via Acres, its industry-leading technology and dedicated team that has directly purchased and managed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of farm and timberland,” said Logan Henderson, Gridline CEO.
“Gridline is passionate about giving entry to asset classes that were previously inaccessible to the majority of investors. We share the same focus on ease of use through a fully digital experience, making it easier for advisors and investors to seamlessly onboard, deploy capital, manage distributions, and performance reporting. Combining forces with Gridline is a natural step forward as we pursue our mission of empowering our customers to buy and sell land smarter with advanced technology, data and expertise” said Carter Malloy, Founder and CEO of AcreTrader.
Since its founding in 2018, AcreTrader has completed farmland investments across more than 40,000 acres totaling approximately $400 million. Their industry relationships and team of highly qualified individuals provides exposure to attractive and diverse deal flow and scalable investing.
