FRA: Irish Forest deal shows overseas Timberland Investment Market is 'Healthy'

The news that an Australian investor has bought a large piece of forested land in Ireland as an investment has been cited by FRA as evidence that the forestry investment industry is still proving strong.

Bainbridge Island, WA, Septemeber 06, 2012 - The news that an Australian investor has bought a large piece of forested land in Ireland as an investment has been cited by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) as evidence that the forestry investment industry is still proving strong.

“The news that the Australian investor has spent nearly EUR4 million on the Irish forest land shows that investors are willing to invest overseas when they identify a decent forestry investment option that could earn them strong returns in the medium or long term,” stated FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins.

The 921 acres of forest was planted over a period of 30 years by Irish Forestry Services Asset Managers. It has now been bought from the asset managers by the Australian investor. The portfolio of forest land is located in six Irish counties in 20 locations, including in Clare, Mayo and Leitrim.

The sale to the Australian businessman was secured after Irish Forestry Services marketed the portfolio abroad to ensure they stimulated as much interest in the asset as possible. DTZ Sherry FitzGerald’s Fintan Tierney handled the sale and explained to The Irish Times: “We received over 165 enquiries from Irish and overseas investors, some of them for parts of the portfolio and others for the entire investment.”

FRA said that the sale also demonstrated how investors in plantations can see returns sooner than they may expect. Hundreds of people who invested in The Third Forestry Investment Plan saw returns of 46.6 per cent, tax free, as a result of the sale.

FRA is a keen advocate of forestry investment through firms like Greenwood Management and promotes this as a green option for those who want to invest in a tangible asset class that is lower risk than investing in equities or bonds. Forestry returns have typically outperformed the equity markets and inflation over the past few decades.

AAA praises Forestry investment Advocate for Supporting Alternatives

A recent article in The South African has attracted praise from (AAA for promoting the benefits of investing in timber.

Boston, MA, September 06, 2012 - A recent article in The South African has attracted praise from Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) for promoting the benefits of investing in timber.

The article was based around an interview with Graham Rowan of Wealth Invest, who asserted that money really does grow on trees if you invest in forestry and timberland in the right way. He said that timber was his favorite ‘green‘ investment and added that there are a few tips to acknowledge before taking the plunge, but that healthy returns are easy to come by.

Firstly, Mr Rowan points out that timber investment has beaten inflation over the past 100 years by an average of 3.3 per cent. AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said that this is a particularly attractive trend during these times of high inflation and low interest rates of savings. He added that, depending on who you invest with, those interested in buying up forestry land can do so for a lot less money than in the past. For example, investments of less than $15,000 are needed to invest in the sustainable plantations run by Greenwood Management in Brazil and Canada.

Another factor to think about when considering forestry investment is the rate of growth for the species in your plantations or forestry project. The faster the growth, the quicker the returns and the less long-term the investment is. For those who want faster returns, investing in Acacia or eucalyptus is a good idea, for example. He also points out the location of the forests makes a difference on the speed at which they grow. He states: “UK forestry grows so slowly that you may find you are investing to benefit your grandchildren!”

Mr Rowan also recommends that investors look closely at any small print and check where they stand if they would like to exit the project early. Overall, though, he recommends forestry as a green investment option.
