Forestry: Hard Woods

Forestry proves to be a perfect hedge to many other investments, specifically equity markets, real estate and inflation. Every analysis shows a negative correlation to the stock market. In addition, its sustainability and “green” factor help offset emissions or balance less earth-friendly industries.

A tremendous opportunity exists in Latin American forestry. Increased demand for hardwood products is likely to continue long-term. Latin America offers affordable and fertile land, relatively low labor costs and positive climate conditions. Sustainable hardwood plantations (i.e. teak) are one of our favorite investments due to their ability to hedge other investments, positive impact on the environment and outstanding global market dynamics.

“Sustainable, high-grade hardwood plantations that employ best-management practices can produce 20 times (or more) of timber than natural forests on the same area of land.”  

(International Tropical Timber Organization 2004).
