Forestland as an Asset Class
By: Mike Flanagan
Forestland as an investment is showing increased interest from a broad group of investors including the traditional timberland buyers and also first time investors looking
for a safer haven for retirement funds and foreign buyers capitalizing on the weak dollar.
In the past two stock market downturns, money has moved away from stocks and bonds to forestland as an investment alternative. While many stocks were severely depressed, forestland lost little value and accelerated quickly as the economy rebounded. When equities are getting pummeled, the trees continue to grow.
Depending on which source you feel comfortable with, forestland as an investment has shown returns of 8-12% annually since the early 80's. Land is an asset that, like timber, appreciates over time due to high demand and scarcity. Income may be derived from the harvesting of timber or evergreens, sale of hunting and/or recreational leases, sale of minerals and mineral rights, and conservation easements. Transitional properties may be sold into the commercial, recreational and development markets. Timber is an attractive asset in that it grows annually in volume and value regardless of the economic cycle.
