Commercial forests are sustainable real assets, offering the potential for long-term capital growth, underpinned by the biological growth of the trees.
With minimal correlation to bonds and equities, positive correlation to inflation, and positive environmental and social attributes, investing in forests makes a lot of sense.
Which is why, towards the end of last year, Gresham House held a ‘Forestry Teach-In’, to discuss the potential financial and environmental benefits of forestry investment in the UK.
