LOS ANGELES — April 23, 2025 — MarketWatch

Tyler Shegerian, Co-Founder and COO of PACT Capital, was featured as a speaker at the 17th annual Global AgInvesting (GAI) conference in New York City, where he shared timely insights on California’s agricultural economy and the growing role of real estate private credit in the sector.

Speaking to a packed room at the New York Hilton Midtown, Shegerian delivered a presentation titled “California Agriculture: Strong Fundamentals, and the Opportunity for a Private Credit Strategy.” His remarks focused on why California agriculture is uniquely positioned for long-term investment opportunity, highlighting the state’s structural advantages, favorable policy environment, and the increasingly attractive basis for acquiring high-quality ag assets.

“The California agriculture economy is experiencing a once-in-a-generation investing opportunity,” Shegerian told attendees. “We’re seeing a window to invest in irreplaceable farmland and ag real estate at values that position investors for significant long-term upside.”

He also shared how private credit strategies can play a critical role in meeting the capital needs of agricultural operators, especially as traditional lending sources continue to shift. The session concluded with a Q&A that covered everything from borrower demand to macroeconomic influences on farmland values.

GAI New York brings together more than 700 investors, fund managers, and ag industry leaders each year for three days of thought leadership and market insights. The conference is widely recognized for spotlighting innovation and capital strategies across the global agriculture and natural capital sectors.

“GAI is a unique platform for discussing where the agriculture economy is headed and how investors can be part of that future,” said Shegerian. “We appreciated the opportunity to share what we’re seeing in California and why private credit is such an important tool for unlocking growth in this space.”
