PE fund envisions global network of land-based salmon farms

Now is the ideal time for investing in land-based salmon farming, and 8F Asset Management -- headquartered and regulated in Singapore with group offices in London, New York and Tokyo -- is putting its money where its mouth is.

The company manages a private equity fund that invests solely in vertically integrated salmon production and processing facilities, using land-based sustainable recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology.

The operating company and brand is known as Pure Salmon.

“It is not a traditional PE fund in the sense of investing in other companies, but instead we invest in our own facilities, which we build ourselves,” Martin Fothergill, co-founder and partner at 8F Asset Management, told IntraFish.
