Asset manager Nuveen has hired Nick Moss as head of nature based solutions within its Natural Capital (NNC) arm.
Based in London, Moss will help drive NNC’s nature based solutions investment strategy across farmland, forestry and ecological restoration.
The focus will be on reducing environmental impact and carbon footprint of commercial production processes, and protecting and restoring damaged habitats.
Nick brings over 15 years’ experience in leading investment and technical advisory services across forestry, agriculture and climate finance. He will report to Skye Macpherson, global head of asset management.
Before this role, Moss led the design and delivery of the AGRI3 strategy, an initiative of Rabobank and UNEP, aiming to mobilise $1 billion in public and private investment in forest conservation and sustainable agriculture. In his role, he led the team in the design, fundraising, origination and portfolio management of sustainable agriculture and natural based climate solutions across Latin America, Asia and Africa. Prior to this, he held roles at Adam Smith International and PwC.
Macpherson commented: “Moss will play a pivotal role in continuing to grow our natural capital and nature-based solutions offering and providing the technical expertise to manage our holdings efficiently and sustainably.”
Moss said: “As interest in real assets continues to grow, Nuveen can offer a range of specialised investments to investors grounded by a long term and sustainable investment philosophy that seeks to offer investors access to alpha-driven strategies.”
