Merricks Capital CEO Adrian Redlich discusses the exciting launch of the Merricks Capital Agriculture Credit Fund to investors.

Merricks Capital has a strong background in the agricultural sector. Our agriculture loans are focused on helping farmers and the agriculture supply chain grow. With limited competition outside the balance sheet of the commercial banks, we consider there to be a significant opportunity to deploy alternative credit and achieve consistent risk-adjusted returns through our asset-backed investment philosophy.”

The Merricks Capital Agriculture Fund invests in hard assets across a range of sectors within the agriculture supply chain, generating 11.2% net annual return (at December 2023).

  • Dairy
  • Horticulture
  • Protein
  • Cropping
  • Forestry
  • Food Processing
