Hancock Timberland & Farmland Fund LP Raises Nearly $2.9 Million in Equity Financing
Hancock Timberland & Farmland Fund LP recently closed on $2,888,750 in equity commitments, according to a regulatory notice filed with the SEC. The offering, launched on June 20, brought in capital from two accredited investors and is structured to remain active for over a year.
The fund is set up as a pooled investment vehicle and focuses on long-term holdings in timberland and farmland assets. While specific financials such as revenue or total net asset value weren’t disclosed, the firm filed under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D , allowing it to raise private capital without registering publicly. This exemption also limits participation to accredited investors and prohibits general marketing.
The minimum investment threshold was $888,750. All available interests were sold, with no remaining capacity in this round. A portion of the proceeds was used to cover a $17,500 sales commission, paid to John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC. That figure reflects both a closing fee tied to this fund and an annual fee allocated across affiliated offerings.
Long-Term Strategy and Deployment
This offering structure enables Hancock Timberland & Farmland Fund to raise capital efficiently while staying aligned with regulatory requirements. It also signals ongoing appetite for agriculture-anchored real estate strategies, particularly among investors looking for long-term, non-correlated exposure.
No proceeds were directed to executive officers or related entities. Instead, the capital is expected to be fully deployed into fund investments. With the initial raise complete and the structure in place for long-term capital flows, the fund is positioned to scale its holdings as market opportunities evolve.
