Forestry: A First Class Asset
.
Forestry investment is an established and respected asset class, delivering stable strong returns compared with other more volatile established investment portfolios, provided Mother Nature is kind. The asset class however, needs protecting from catastrophic events that could wipe out or severely curtail the investment return. With strong evidence that climate change is increasing forest losses, can you afford to let this happen without fully understanding the risk for your investors?
