Silva Capital

Co-Managing Directors Raf Wood and Brad Mytton share leadership and both sit on the Investment Committee. Wood brings 25 years of environmental and financial experience, including founding carbon advisory firm Market Advisory Group in 2010. Mytton contributes 20 years of private equity and agriculture investing experience from Roc Partners and Macquarie. Investment Directors Roger Cameron and James Turnbull also serve on the Investment Committee.

Silva Capital is a joint venture between the two firms, structured as a dedicated carbon asset manager. Roc Partners contributes agricultural investment expertise and a A$8.5 billion institutional platform (per Roc Partners, 2024). C6 Investment Management, a 2022 spinout from carbon advisory firm Market Advisory Group, provides carbon market intelligence, policy expertise, and project due diligence. Silva Capital operates independently with its own management team and investment committee, drawing on the resources and deal flow of both parent entities.

The Fund focuses on developing large-scale, mixed-use agricultural and environmental planting projects in Australia. These projects generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) through reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, and biodiversity improvements. The strategy targets both compliance buyers needing credits for regulatory obligations and financial investors seeking returns from carbon markets. As of mid-2026, Silva Capital has not publicly disclosed specific project names or the fund's total size.

Silva Capital states it was the first organization to successfully register a project under Australia's Nature Repair Market Act, the world's first legislated biodiversity market. This registration underscores the firm's early positioning in biodiversity credits alongside its core carbon credit origination business. The Act creates a framework for generating and trading biodiversity certificates, and Silva Capital's early registration signals an intent to offer nature-positive outcomes alongside emissions reductions.

The expertise traces primarily to Raf Wood and the team from Market Advisory Group, which Wood founded in 2010. That advisory firm served domestic and international corporate clients on carbon market strategy, policy architecture, and investment due diligence. When C6 Investment Management spun out in 2022, it carried that expertise into Silva Capital's joint venture structure—giving the firm direct institutional knowledge of Australian Carbon Credit Unit supply, demand dynamics, and regulatory design dating back to the market's early years.
