Our Approach
Optimizing the Timberland Value Chain
RMS seeks to enhance investment performance through leading-edge forestry practices, operating scale and an integrated approach to the core functions of timberland investing.
Our team’s depth and collaborative structure help us to identify linkages across the value chain and make informed, coordinated decisions regarding our investors’ forest assets.
What Defines and Differentiates RMS?
The qualities that set RMS apart span from our people, our ownership, our discipline and our decades of forestry experience.
Founded, owned and led by foresters, RMS brings a deep forestry expertise to every investment decision. Our long-standing relationships with investors and forest product buyers help create lasting value. We also serve as a respected global voice in sustainable timberland investing.
RMS maintains oversight of the core investment and forestry functions central to its timberland investment process. That gives investors a single point of accountability and a cost-effective approach to managing a complex, long-term asset. This level of integration is one of the ways we create value for our investors.
We specialize in large-scale, intensively managed forest investments in selected global timber markets. Our deep expertise in plantation-style forestry helps us evaluate opportunities across established timber-growing regions.
We've been helping landowners and investors succeed since 1950. Over that time, we've completed hundreds of land transactions worth billions of dollars and built the experience to navigate every stage of the timberland investment lifecycle.
We treat investors as partners, not just clients. As a privately held, independent company, our ownership structure supports a long-term focus and meaningful alignment with our investors.
Innovation has been part of RMS since the beginning. We continuously evolve with changing markets, improve our approach and embrace new opportunities to create long-term value.
A significant portion of the RMS team has an ownership stake in the firm. That shared investment supports a culture of accountability, collaboration and long-term commitment.
Sustainability has been part of RMS since the beginning. We consider environmental, social and governance factors alongside forestry expertise in every investment decision. That approach supports responsible stewardship and long-term value for our investors.
Global Reach, Local Knowledge
RMS is currently invested in three of the world’s most productive timberland regions: the U.S. Southeast, the Pacific Northwest and Brazil. In every region, we combine global investment expertise with experienced local teams who understand the markets, regulations and relationships that drive long-term success.
That blend of institutional discipline and on-the-ground knowledge helps investors capitalize on opportunities around the world.
