Firm Description 
We are a timber investment management organization.  We manage a globally diverse portfolio of 
timberland  assets  through  closed-end  investment  funds  and  separately  managed  accounts  for 
institutional and other qualified investors.   
GFP is a successor to the timber investment management business of UBS Timber Investors, which 
itself is a successor to Resource Investments, Inc. (“RII”).  RII was founded in 1982 as a subsidiary 
of  the  Boston  Company  and  began  managing  assets  for  United  States  tax-exempt  institutional 
investors in 1985.   The firm operated as an independent investment adviser from 1990 until 1995 
when it was acquired by UBS, which operated the firm until a management buyout in 2003.  The firm 
underwent an internal succession transition in early 2019 whereby members of the management team 
acquired the equity in the firm.  
Principal Owners 
GFP is an independently owned partnership. There are no owners that hold 25% or more of GFP.   
Types of Advisory Services 
We advise clients on timberland and forestry-related investments located throughout the world.  
GFP  emphasizes  sustainably  managed,  high  quality,  planted  forests  in  locations  featuring  robust 
domestic markets or efficient access to global markets. Within the alternative asset class, timberland 
can provide investors stable long-term rates of return, portfolio diversification, and cash yield from 
timber harvesting and related activities.   
We are actively involved in the selection, acquisition and management of forestry properties and 
the oversight of timber and land sales. Utilizing fundamental research and analysis techniques, we 
review  the  quality  of  the  timberland,  the  inventory  of  trees,  prospects  for  productive  growth, 
market demand, market development opportunities, and key market risks.  In our analysis, we seek 
advice from  foresters and other subject matter specialists, including our employees, consultants 
and local  property managers, who are familiar with the specific regions,  properties  and species 
being considered.
                                        
                                        
                                             
Where the investment case is compelling, GFP may supplement these core investments with one or 
more  forestry-related  projects,  including  manufacturing  facilities,  carbon  sequestration  projects, 
wind-energy projects, or general infrastructure projects. GFP’s experience has shown that the capacity 
to  invest  in  such  forestry-related  projects  can  enhance  the  overall  value  of  a  fund’s  forestry 
investments and provide flexibility in deal underwriting that presents an advantage in competitive 
processes for high quality assets.  
Once acquired, GFP guides the strategic direction of each investment via annual budgeting, ongoing 
oversight and the development of standards for forestry systems and data management. GFP seeks to 
make improvements  in  forest  growth  and production  through  the  application  of  best  management

practices, current technology, and leading management expertise.  To manage investment risk, GFP 
seeks  to  build  a  portfolio  of  investments  displaying  a  diversity  of  end  markets,  regions,  growing 
conditions, tree species and age class profiles.   
Tailored Relationships 
Investors  are  advised  of  our  investment  strategy  for  a  timberfund  before  they  make  their 
investment  commitments.    In  general,  the  timberfunds  contain  requirements  for  diversification 
including  by:  geographic  regions  or  countries,  tree  species,  size  of  investments  relative  to  the 
timberfund and number of investments. In most cases, investors do not participate in the decision 
of whether or not to make any particular investment acquisition.  In addition, GFP has tailored 
investment programs to meet the requirements of its investors. 
Wrap Fee Programs 
We do not participate in wrap fee programs.
