Gresham House has appointed Eoin McDonald as director of global natural capital to drive further development of its natural capital solutions strategy globally.

McDonald joins with over 12 years of experience in institutional natural capital investment. Most recently, he served as managing director at specialist investment management firm GreenAgCapital, where he developed investment strategies and led fundraising across vertically integrated investments within the food and agriculture sector.

Prior to this, he led the US portfolio management team at Nuveen Natural Capital’s farmland division, managing investments, driving the firm’s ESG strategy, and spearheading new product initiatives. He has also been a portfolio manager at Insight Investment, a subsidiary of Bank of New York Mellon, where he oversaw the performance and management of a global farmland fund after starting his career as an analyst at Citigroup.

McDonald, director of global natural capital, commented: “I am delighted to be joining Gresham House at a time when investors are increasingly seeking to engage with, and ultimately invest in, natural capital. I look forward to educating those new to the asset class and expanding understanding of its role in portfolio construction, as well as the attractive financial returns and meaningful contribution to the net-zero transition it offers to investors. I have spent over a decade investing in natural capital, and Gresham House’s commitment to long-term value creation through forestry, biodiversity, and agricultural investments aligns closely with my vision for the sector.”
