Forestry has proven an attractive alternative asset for long-term investors, as it provides the opportunity to benefit from the value of a naturally growing commodity and the security of ownership of the underlying land.
This allows for:
- An income stream from timber harvested from the forest
- Long-term capital appreciation in a sustainable and tax-efficient manner
- Portfolio diversification through uncorrelated returns to more traditional asset classes
- Inflation linkage
- Reduced volatility
