Cattle, Carbon, and Real Estate (CCRE) Fund
The Jäger Company’s Cattle, Carbon, and Real Estate (CCRE) Fund, is an investment vehicle targeting the acquisition and management of ranch land in the inter-mountain west and great plains regions of the United States. This expansive landholding strategy leverages regenerative agriculture, nature-based carbon offset projects, and high-quality beef production to deliver substantial financial returns and environmental benefits.
Investment Opportunity
The CCRE Fund is positioned within the established segment of real estate investment vehicles, particularly focusing on the farmland sector. As of December 12, 2023, publicly traded U.S. equity REITs posted a one-year average dividend yield of 4.09%. The CCRE Fund aims to outperform these benchmarks by combining multiple revenue streams from cattle production, carbon credits, and real estate appreciation.

If considered a state, it would rank as the 47th largest in the U.S. covering over 6,500 square miles.
