Agricultural groups/firms in NY/SF
Hey all - I’m curious about groups in finance that specialize in dealing with or investing into agricultural assets.
I know about Paine Schwartz Partners, Agricultural Capital, Citi’s AgTech group (under tech) in SF, but would love to see if anyone knew of similar companies.
Thanks
Based on the highest ranked content on WSO and the context provided, there isn't specific information about agricultural groups or firms in New York or San Francisco beyond what you've already mentioned like Paine Schwartz Partners, Agricultural Capital, and Citi’s AgTech group in San Francisco. However, the context does touch upon agricultural trading firms and commodities trading, which might be of interest if you're looking into finance roles related to agriculture.
For instance, the discussion around the best ABCD agricultural trading firms highlights the importance of long-term compensation, prestige, growth opportunities, and resume building in the agricultural sector. While it doesn't specify firms in NY or SF, it suggests that agricultural trading can be a lucrative and prestigious area within finance, potentially offering insights into firms that deal with or invest in agricultural assets.
Additionally, the Q&A sessions with agricultural commodities traders provide valuable insights into the industry, including the major players and the dynamics of trading agricultural commodities. While these discussions are more focused on trading rather than investment groups, they could offer a broader understanding of the agricultural finance landscape, which might indirectly lead to discovering firms that specialize in agricultural investments.
If you're specifically interested in investment firms or groups that focus on agricultural assets, it might be beneficial to explore forums and threads related to investment banking, private equity, and venture capital within the agricultural sector on platforms like WSO. Networking and direct inquiries with professionals in the field could also uncover more firms similar to the ones you've mentioned.

You should determine what area of ag you want to be investing in (e.g farmland, production assets, agtech). Start with the attendee list for the Global Ag Investing conference and go from there.
You’ll find that some firms like Paine Schwartz look more like a traditional PE firm (NYC, former bankers), while other strong funds in the ag space are in smaller cities with investment professionals from “non-traditional” backgrounds (ex-ag traders, operators, etc).
A lot of pension funds and SWFs are big into ag assets, so you could check those out as well.
Really insightful - thanks a lot! Will definitely check through the list and think about asset classes. +sb

Quite a mix there in terms of sector focus and investing style but those are some names that come to mind. Helps to have a LatAm background at a number of these places.
