NEW YORK, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Asset Management today announced the close of Campbell Global's Forest & Climate Solutions Fund II at $1.5 billion, exceeding its fundraising target. The fund launched in 2022 with a fundraising target of $1 billion and was the first fund launched following J.P. Morgan's acquisition of Campbell Global in 2021. In addition to the fund, Campbell Global also closed several separate account mandates, bringing the total capital raise to $2.3 billion.
"We're very pleased to put our decades of experience in global timberland management to work for this quality group of investors interested in responsibly managed forests that generate income and value-appreciation and are a positive climate solution. Along with the financial attributes, the removal of carbon, protection of water, and enhancement of biodiversity and habitats encompass some of the important work we do in the forests on behalf of our investors," said John Gilleland, Chief Executive Officer of Campbell Global.
The global fund leverages Campbell Global's expertise managing commercial forestland across OECD regions. It uses a blended approach that will support traditional timber production and carbon sequestration and offers the benefits of nature-based carbon removal and storage, biodiversity and other related benefits. Commitments in the fund include qualified U.S. investors, international banks, European pensions, insurance entities and asset managers.
"This strategy is a unique investment option for our clients, offering diversification from traditional asset classes and income generation, and timberland management is a proven inflation hedge," said Jed Laskowitz, Global Head of Private Markets and Customized Solutions, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. "Given its decades of experience, Campbell Global is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities in this sector."
The Forest & Climate Solutions Fund II currently holds three unique timberland properties totaling ~212,000 acres (~87,700 hectares) located in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and U.S. South, with additional capital to deploy.

Meyers Manx and Tuthill Debut the LFG at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering
A new era in luxury off-road adventure, launching with six years of curated global driving experiences MONTEREY, Calif., Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the prestigious The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during Monterey Car Week, Meyers Manx, the legendary creator of the original fiberglass dune buggy, and world-renowned rally specialists Tuthill unveiled the LFG, a limited-production off-road performance machine set to redefine the spirit of recreational driving. Only 100 examples of the LFG will be built, each offering owners exclusive access to six years of meticulously planned driving adventures across the globe. The journey begins in 2027 with the inaugural LFG Baja Tour, marking the 50th anniversary of Meyers Manx's historic victory in the first Mexican 1000 (now the Baja 1000). Designed for those who crave both comfort and capability, the LFG merges cutting-edge engineering with a playful, adventurous spirit. Underneath its carbon fiber body and ROPS (Roll Over Protection Structure) lies a choice of high-performance engines — including a 4-valve variant derived from Tuthill's celebrated "K" — paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox and 4WD featuring front, center, and rear limited-slip differentials. Twin five-way adjustable dampers with hydraulic bump stops, and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tyres ensure the LFG is equally at home crossing desert dunes or carving through rugged mountain trails. Inside, a bespoke, climate-controlled cabin offers comfort on long hauls, while an Inconel exhaust, integrated GPS, and long-range fuel tank prepare the vehicle for journeys well beyond the beaten path. In moments, the enclosed cockpit can transform into an open-air buggy, letting drivers and passengers fully embrace the elements. "This project started as a dream between my long-time pal Richard and me, both in constant pursuit of the ultimate expression of freedom and performance," said Phillip Sarofim, Founder and CEO of Trousdale Ventures and Chairman of the Board at Meyers Manx. "We imagined the perfect Meyers Manx, brought Freeman Thomas on board to infuse his design brilliance, and merged it with Tuthill's engineering mastery. The result is raw, visceral, novel, and totally uncompromising. We call it LFG for a reason." "It's fairly well known that I love experiences, I love the effect it has on those that join us wherever we go," said Richard Tuthill, Director at Tuthill. "This, however, is slightly different. We are not necessarily bringing the stopwatch with us on these trips. I want to take people to see the most amazing parts of the world. I have been super lucky to see some life-changing scenery whilst Rallying, the memories I have as a result are immeasurable. These things change you. I think for the better. We crave experiences that we can look back on for the rest of our lives. We now have an amazing car to help us to create these in a unique way. The car looks fun, mischievous, it has a character that I have genuinely never seen or felt. BUT underneath it's PROPER – could we go to the moon and back in it? Probably yes, it has the capability to go wherever we point it, and we can do it safely and comfortably. In 2 minutes, it transforms from a fully air-conditioned enclosed cabin to a doorless buggy where the wind provides the air that helps us smile. It's very special. I can't wait to get started, please join in – LFG." More details, images, and specifications are available online.

Trump: No Business With Putin Until Ukraine War Is 'Settled'
President Donald Trump has offered the potential to resume business with Russia if they are able to make progress towards ending the war in Ukraine, signaling that renewed economic engagement between the U.S. and Russia could be on the horizon should peace negotiations yield tangible results. 'I noticed he's bringing a lot of business people from Russia, and that's good,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. 'I like that because they want to do business, but they're not doing business until we get the war settled.' The prospect of renewed business discussions comes after years of Russia's near-total estrangement from the global economy following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, as sweeping sanctions and diplomatic pressure from the U.S., Europe, and allied nations have left Moscow largely isolated from major markets and financial systems. Read More: Why Trump's Summit in Alaska Cannot End Putin's War in Ukraine But Trump's suggestion that he might ease economic restrictions and resume business with Russia has drawn sharp criticism from European allies, who warn that any premature normalization could undermine the unified Western stance on sanctions and harm Ukraine's position in ongoing negotiations. Some analysts and Congressional Republicans, including Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Don Bacon of Nebraska, have also warned that such a move risks rewarding Putin's invasion by effectively legitimizing Russia's territorial gains and military aggression. When asked by TIME in the Oval Office on Thursday whether his peace incentives to Russia might inadvertently reward Putin and what message that could send to other potential aggressors, Trump responded: 'I don't see it as a reward.' The summit on Friday, which Trump referred to as 'high stakes,' marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two Presidents since 2019, with its outcome closely watched for any sign that the long-standing conflict may finally begin moving toward resolution. The talks will give Putin a chance to pitch his conditions for peace. The Kremlin has expressed its desire for Ukraine to hand over swaths of its territory—particularly areas in the south and east, which Putin's army has failed to fully occupy. Read More: Zelensky on Trump, Putin, and the Endgame in Ukraine Trump on Friday suggested he would not negotiate on behalf of Ukraine, particularly over whether to engage in territorial swaps with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly said he is not willing to cede any territory to Russia, insisting that such a move would 'gift their land to the occupier." European leaders have also warned that giving Russia land could embolden it to invade other countries. 'We are counting on America,' Zelensky said in a social media post on Friday. 'The key thing is that this meeting should open up a real path toward a just peace and a substantive discussion between leaders in a trilateral format—Ukraine, the United States, and the Russian side. It is time to end the war, and the necessary steps must be taken by Russia.' The summit will also give Putin the chance to appeal to Trump's business interests. Russia's Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and Kirill Dmitriev, a senior economic negotiator and head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, are among those who accompanied Putin to Alaska. Asked if he would be discussing business opportunities with Russia during the meeting, Trump said: 'If we make progress, I would discuss it, because that's one of the things that they would like; they'd like to get a piece of what I built in terms of the economy.' Read More: The Secret White House Backchannel That Paved the Way For Trump's Summit With Putin It's unclear what kind of business deals Trump could use as leverage to resolve the war, but the President has previously threatened 'severe consequences' if Putin doesn't agree to end the conflict, including possible secondary sanctions on countries importing Russian oil and gas. Trump told reporters that he believes 'something' will come of the summit in Alaska and praised his relationship with Putin, whose invasion of Ukraine has resulted in tens of thousands of civilians killed and millions displaced. 'Look, he's a smart guy. Been doing it for a long time, but so have I. I've been doing it for a long time, and here we are. We're President[s],' Trump said on his way to the summit. 'We get along. There's a good respect level on both sides and I think something's going to come of it.'
