INCH. Integrated Natural Capital Holdings

Overview

INCH is the group's principal-capital vehicle. It deploys institutional capital deal-by-deal through ring-fenced SPVs, gives investors deal-level visibility and co-investment rights, and ties the operator's economics to investor outcomes through a working-interest waterfall.

Eligible Asset Types

Asset Category Examples Notes
Direct Air Capture and Engineered Removal Engineered DAC, ocean alkalinity enhancement, enhanced weathering Technology-based, permanent, high-integrity removal. Capital-intensive; typically structured with a project-finance overlay.
Biochar Agricultural biochar, soil application programs Durable carbon removal with measurable soil co-benefits. Growing compliance-market acceptance.
Carbon Removal, Nature-Based Afforestation, reforestation, soil carbon, blue carbon (mangroves, seagrass, tidal marshes) Established methodologies. Broad compliance and institutional demand. Clear sovereign authorization pathway for cross-border projects.
Carbon Reduction Methane abatement, fuel switching, energy efficiency, landfill gas capture Proven methodologies with strong additionality cases. Compliance demand via CORSIA and national schemes.
Carbon Avoidance REDD+, avoided deforestation, avoided land-use conversion Requires a robust, defensible baseline. Jurisdictional programs preferred. Elevated documentation and integrity standards.
Biodiversity Credits Habitat restoration, ecological corridor protection, marine and wetland conservation Emerging institutional market. Regulatory frameworks developing across several jurisdictions.
Water Assets Watershed restoration, water quality offsets, groundwater recharge rights Jurisdiction-specific demand with a strong co-benefit narrative.

Investment Criteria

Criterion Standard
Legal rights and title Clear, exclusive, and unencumbered rights to the environmental outcome. No competing claims, liens, or disputes. Full chain-of-custody documentation for previously issued credits.
Additionality Demonstrable on financial, regulatory, or technological grounds, against a credible and defensible baseline. Projects without a documented counterfactual do not qualify.
Jurisdictional authorization A host-country Letter of Authorization is the preferred structure for cross-border projects and is required for Article 6.2 eligibility. Projects without a clear authorization pathway are assessed case by case and may require enhanced documentation or insurance.
Documentation readiness A project design document, MRV framework, and baseline impact data must be available or in active development, sufficient to support independent third-party verification.
Market demand evidence Demonstrable commercial demand: letters of intent, offtake discussions, registry benchmark pricing, or documented buyer relationships. Speculative or unpriced assets do not qualify.
Political risk Projects in high-instability jurisdictions require political risk insurance or an equivalent mitigation instrument. Sanctioned or active-conflict jurisdictions are not eligible.
Regulatory compliance pathway A clear pathway to compliance with applicable frameworks, Article 6, CORSIA, or equivalent corporate disclosure standards, is required for any asset intended for compliance-market exit.

Credit Tiering System

Every asset admitted to INCH is classified at intake. Classification governs custody, collateral treatment, and financing eligibility, and is not discretionary.

Tier Asset Type Custody Collateral Treatment Financing
0 Cash and equivalents Custodian bank Base liquidity reserve Base liquidity
1 Compliance allowances Exchange or registry with controls Primary collateral Standard institutional haircuts and clearing
2 High-integrity, sovereign-authorized credits Registry with controlled account Conditional collateral Higher haircuts; independent price validation; limited counterparties
3 Forward offtake and options Contract, registry, and legal perfection Not collateralized directly; rights support structured finance Offtake-backed facilities and structured prepay, not repo
4 Legacy or non-authorized inventory Registry only Not collateralized Opportunistic sleeve only; valuation haircut; no leverage

Why an Operating Company, Not a Fund

A conventional fund forces investors to commit before deals are identified, pays fixed management fees regardless of performance, and applies flat carry across a blind portfolio. INCH inverts each of those defaults.

·  Investors see the deal economics before committing at the deal level.
·  The sponsor (1NatCap) earns meaningful upside only after investors recover capital and a preferred return.
·  Co-investment rights and rights of first refusal on each transaction.
·  Ring-fenced SPVs under one master entity: Clean and auditable.

Return Alignment

The waterfall is structured so investor capital is made whole and receives a preferred return before the operator earns meaningful economics. Operator participation increases only as returns increase. All illustrative thresholds and splits are documented in definitive offering materials.

Overall INCH Sentiment

INCH exists because natural capital has never had a principal-capital vehicle built to institutional standards. It is not a fund raising a blind pool against a thesis. It is an operating company that takes deal-by-deal positions, gives investors visibility into each transaction before capital moves, and ties its own economics to investor outcomes through a return waterfall that pays investors first. Every asset it holds is tiered, custodied, and valued against defined, auditable standards, the same discipline institutional allocators expect from any other credit or structured-finance vehicle. The vehicle succeeds by being boring in the right ways: transparent structure, independent valuation, and a manager whose upside only grows once investors have already been made whole.
