My guest this week is Ben Gordon, the CEO of Fractal. At Fractal, Ben runs a unique strategy, providing farmers with equity capital and investors' exposure to a differentiated and uncorrelated asset class. Ben starts by making the case for investing in farmland and explaining why institutional ownership remains low in the category.
We then dive into Fractal's business model, what a typical deal looks like and where they fit in the agricultural capital stack. If you're interested in this topic, I also recommend listening to our earlier episode called Harvesting Alpha through Farmland. Now please enjoy this episode with Ben Gordon.
