TLG Management Partners is an investment management platform focused on agriculture in South America and is the single largest institutional manager and operator of third-party owned farmland in Uruguay.
We are an independent investment, asset management, and operating platform founded in 2016 to take-over, turn around, and manage underperforming South American farmland properties that European investors inherited from the 2000s commodities super cycle.
We manage and oversee institutional capital invested in prime agricultural farmland properties representing 90,546 hectares distributed across twenty properties in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
This includes eight properties, representing 19,458 hectares, in Uruguay, which we operate directly with our own teams to produce beef, soybean, rice, and timber.
Since launching in 2016, we have combined investment management discipline with farming expertise to become Uruguay’s largest institutional manager and operator of diversified farmland.
Population growth, rising household incomes, climate change, and declining arable land are all putting pressure on the world’s most critical resource: food.
Investing in farmland, an asset class that is structurally inelastic, yet satisfies a fundamental need of society, thus represents a very powerful investment thesis.
A small country strategically wedged between Argentina and Brazil with a reputation for reliability, transparency and quality, Uruguay remains an unassuming agriculture powerhouse with plenty of unexploited potential.
The country combines abundant farmland, rich soils, plentiful water resources, a temperate climate, a transparent market, and the world’s first national livestock traceability system, with a dollarized economy that welcomes foreign direct investment.
It produces a growing share of the grains and animal protein that the world demands in ever increasing quantities. In all respects, it offers a very compelling backdrop for institutional investment into agriculture.
We seek to invest and operate our Portfolio in ways that maximize production capacity, recurring income, and long-term capital value appreciation, while minimizing environmental impact.
We source and acquire well-located, under-capitalised properties employing traditional farming techniques at attractive entry prices.
We aggregate properties in clusters at scale to generate operational efficiencies, implement modern farming techniques, regenerate soils, and increase productive output.
We manage efficient “own and operate” grass-fed beef operations that are vertically integrated from breeding to finishing to manage quality and genetics, maintain end-to-end traceability of livestock and control over production, and manage costs and profitability.
We combine our production of grass-fed beef providing premium pricing and buffer to commodity prices with stable, contractual income from ‘own and lease’ model applied to row crops, rice, and timber areas to mitigate market risk.
We build, upgrade, and expand water collection, storage, and distribution infrastructure to optimise livestock weight gain and ensure adequate irrigation of pastures and crops.
We create alternative exit options by building scale (to create attractive investment for large corporate and institutional investors) while keeping the flexibility to break up the parts if required.
