JD Vance Funded AcreTrader. Heres Why That Matters
The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.
Theres no indication that Vance has divested from AcreTrader, and theres every indication that that investment remains in place, said Lisa Graves, the executive director of True North Research, an investigative research group. She points to how Vance sold off his stock in Narya Capital Management LLC in 2023, but thats not the same as the (albeit similarly named) investment vehicles used to invest in AcreTrader.

(26,039 posts)1. Acretrader sounds kind of illegal, being that there was an anti-China bias at one time (may still be too) from buying
up US farmland. I wonder how they got around these sorts of restrictions put in by some states? Some US farmland is restricted based on these laws.
