Investment profile of Costa Rica
Forestry investments have been around for decades, providing low-risk high returns for institutional investors, hedge funds and high net-worth individuals, consistently beating the S&P 500.
Timber has low correlation to other asset classes, making it a smart hedge against stock market volatility. In times of reduced demand, such as a down housing market, your forestry investment can be “banked on the stump”, growing in value until the next housing start. It’s easy to see what many regard forestry as the ultimate agricultural investment.
An investment in forestry is an investment in timber – a commodity with increasing worldwide demand and dwindling supply.
Traditionally, timberland has been owned by major timber-product manufacturers to ensure steady supply. In the 1990s, manufacturers began to divest tree stock, selling to forestry management companies and investors able to invest in excess of $1,000,000 to purchase large tracts of land (the average timber tract is 400 acres). Now, Timberland Futures provides individual investors access to this lucrative and reliable opportunity for as little as $36,500.
With your investment dollars, we plant Melina hardwood saplings in one of our Costa Rican plantations. As your trees grow, so does the value of your investment. Periodically, our forestry engineers harvest trees to allow more room for growth, and sell the wood on the pulp market, providing you with regular returns on your investment. At the end of Year 12, the remaining trees are harvested, and Timberland Futures sells your stock at current market value.
Individual investors can now benefit from this emerging investment opportunity.
