Sustainable, global and a potentially excellent hedge against inflation

Investors have had a variety of reasons for investing in timberland – a generational asset, a saleable piece of real estate, a renewable crop, projected carbon credits – but why should a private equity investor look at timberland now as an asset class?

Since the 1980s, the ownership baton has passed from corporations to Timber Investment Management Organisations (TIMOs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and now, increasingly, to private equity investors. Combining increased corporate awareness with global and national incentives to minimise carbon footprints, timberland as an alternative asset class is coming to the fore.

Historically, timberland has:

• outperformed inflation by an average 3.3% pa
• demonstrated a 20-year upward trend for lumber prices
• generated strong returns on a risk to return basis compared to other asset classes

The Definitive Guide to Investing in Timberland is an in-depth guide to understanding, assessing and investing in timberland along with opportunities to add value. Whether investing through a fund manager or as a fund manager, primarily written by experts, this guide provides investors and fund managers with valuable insight and practical guides which shed light on a variety of subjects from first considering timberland as an asset class to final exit via environmental factors and adding value.
