About This Fund
Ecosystem Investment Partners V, L.P. (“EIP V”) is the fifth institutional fund managed by Ecosystem Investment Partners, a private equity firm focused on large-scale ecological restoration and mitigation banking. With over $400 million in capital commitments, the fund continues the firm’s strategy of investing in wetland, stream, water quality, biodiversity, and habitat mitigation projects across the U.S. Since its founding in 2006, EIP has raised nearly $1.5 billion and developed a robust platform for delivering measurable natural capital outcomes through regulated environmental markets. EIP V secured support from a broad base of new and returning institutional investors, including public and corporate pension funds, endowments, and family offices across the U.S. and Europe. The fund's appeal lies in its ability to offer strong financial returns that are uncorrelated with traditional markets while delivering tangible ecosystem benefits. This growing global interest in nature-based solutions underscores the structural market demand for environmental offsets that comply with U.S. regulations such as the Clean Water Act and Endangered Species Act. To date, EIP V has already deployed over $125 million into nine projects across Florida, Kentucky, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, and Louisiana. These include both greenfield mitigation banks and acquisitions of asset portfolios designed to restore more than 8,000 acres of wetlands and 23 miles of streams. This early activity highlights the depth of EIP’s deal flow and operational expertise in scaling natural infrastructure solutions. Through its two-decade experience, extensive partner network, and focused market access, EIP has positioned itself as a national leader in delivering both environmental impact and investment value. EIP V aims to meet the rising demand from infrastructure, energy, and real estate developers for mitigation credits, while also helping institutional LPs align with sustainability objectives. The fund’s successful close in a difficult fundraising environment signals investor confidence in this differentiated and growing asset class.
