Executive Summary

Almond Tree Capital Management is an investment firm investing in the placement of entities for the success of environmental sustainability and other venture backed investments.

Almond Tree Capital Management focused initially on the use of two Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to develop 274,000 almond trees on 1,883 acres (Portola Land Company) and 823 homes for a 273-acre Chino neighborhood plan (Portola Acquisitons,) and now we are looking to improve the quality of life in these endeavors through investments in water, power and electronics.

Since the adequacy of water is crucial, given current drought conditions and potential regulatory restrictions, wells have been drilled on the two ranch properties and are drawing water from an aquifer at a rate of several inches during the past 40 years. The wells achieve 3,000 gallons per minute of water flow through an installed drip irrigation system.

Seeks long term growth of capital through participation in various open ended funds.
