Invictus Farmland, Pinnacle Wealth to launch Invictus Farmland Fund I
By Lynda Kiernan-Stone
Canadian farmland investment manager Invictus Farmland has partnered with Calgary-based financial services firm Pinnacle Wealth to launch Invictus Farmland Fund I, an investment vehicle that is built upon a farmer-first structure for accredited investors seeking exposure to Canadian farmland.
“This marks an important milestone for our platform and the beginning of our distribution through the Canadian advisor channel,” noted Invictus Farmland in a LinkedIn post announcing the fund launch.
“We believe Canadian farmland represents a compelling real asset opportunity, supported by strong fundamentals including limited supply, generational transition, and increasing global demand for food production.”
Focusing on investment opportunities across Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, the fund will approach farmland not as a purely financial asset, but will incorporate co-investment with the farm partner and revenue-based participation.
“By concentrating on Prairie farmland markets, Invictus aims to access opportunities in areas that may benefit from productive farmland, established agricultural infrastructure, and long-term relevance within the Canadian farming landscape,” stated the company.
Additionally, while Canadian farmland values increased by an average of 9.3 percent in 2025, the Prairies saw exceptional growth, with Manitoba posting +12.2 percent, Alberta +11.4 percent, and Saskatchewan +9.4 percent, according to data from Farm Credit Canada.
This strategy is designed to help preserve long-term land access for farm partners while also aligning the interests of investors and operators, creating a more collaborative model that supports agricultural continuity and builds an investment structure focused on both income generation and growth over time.
Such an approach is particularly relevant today given the transition taking place across Canadian agriculture where a significant number of farm owners are approaching retirement, sparking a shift in ownership throughout the country’s key ag regions.
It is also true that in many cases tenant farmers and operators have the infrastructure needed to farm the land, but not the required capital to acquire it. These areas of disconnect create an opening for solutions providing liquidity that supports the continuity of farming for farm operators and access to a structured opportunity for accredited investors.
The return profile for such a strategy is built upon the dual components of income and growth.
~ The income component is derived from crop royalty participation generating cash flow over the course of the investment period. Invictus explained that this creates a yield focused element tied to farm productivity and operating activity.
~ The growth component is generated through long-term land value appreciation which supports capital growth over time.
Combined, these two elements create a balanced return profile consisting of income potential with long-term appreciation potential targeting 10-12 percent net IRR over a 10-year term.
“Canadian farmland continues to stand out as an area of interest for investors seeking exposure to a real asset tied to an essential industry,” stated Invictus.
“Invictus Farmland Fund I is built around that opportunity, with a strategy that seeks to provide income and long-term capital appreciation through farmland-secured lending arrangements, including participation in crop revenue and land value appreciation with agricultural operators.”
