Our Investment Approach
Proprietary Deal flow
France Valley has developed a unique pan-European network, providing unparalleled access to prime investment opportunities, with 98% of transactions being off-market across Europe in 2023.
Rigorous Selection and Due Diligence
We conduct an extensive evaluation of hundreds of forests annually, with each asset undergoing comprehensive validation by a third-party expert before acquisition.
An Expert Investment and Asset Management Team
12 specialists combining dual expertise in finance and forestry management.
Our process
France Valley meticulously researches, analyzes, and negotiates forest acquisitions based on comprehensive site evaluations (including soil quality, rainfall, historical temperatures, access, slopes, and exposure) and stand assessments (covering species, density, quality, health, and market potential). Leveraging a network of around 90 partners across Europe, we actively source and secure a steady flow of high-quality opportunities. On top of our extensive Due Diligence process, each asset undergoes independent counter-assessment by an independent forestry expert. Our capabilities allow us to secure a substantial volume of transactions across France and Europe. For each property in portfolio, we develop a long-term management plan optimizing performance and sustainability.
