Global Forestry Investments believe that investments in overseas forestry will bring diversity, growth and stability to any investment portfolio.
[edit] Timber
'''Teak wood''' (tectona grandis) is the most planted species in the world, it’s a genus of tropical hardwood trees. They are large trees, growing to 30-40 metres tall, used in the manufacture of outdoor furniture, boat decks, indoor flooring and as a veneer for indoor furnishings, yacht building, flooring, carving, cabinetwork, paneling, tanks, vats, and fixtures requiring high resistance to acids. Because of its many uses, demand for Teak has risen steadily over time.
Teak is currently in growing demand, however there is a diminishing supply, plus a drastic need to stop logging rain forests where old teaks stand. The solution to this is sustainable forestry and timber logging. Brazil makes a great place to do this with 365 days a year of direct equatorial sunlight, lots of rain and it’s proximity to some of the worlds major Teak markets.
GFI is offering investors the opportunity to participate in an ethical, green, sustainable and profitable business. By planting hardwood Teak trees on deforested land in the tropical Brazilian rainforest. The plantations are harvested over 25 years providing income from timber sales.
We are offering you the opportunity to purchase saplings in our plantations and own the economic rights to those trees until they are harvested. Our experts will manage the growth of your trees assuring maximum returns on your investment. At different stages of the growth cycle, thinning will take place to ensure maximum growth of the remaining trees. This thinning generates income, providing you with returns at various stages during the 25 years.
You can take satisfaction from the fact that you are helping to conserve the natural rainforest, offsetting your carbon footprint and alleviating poverty in a fully certified and sustainable project.
[edit] Teak vs Traditional Investments
How does buying Pacific Teak compare with conventional investments
In comparison, real estate, gold, stocks, and mutual funds have historically shown to experience considerable volatility. Comparatively, Teakwood, as a green investment, has demonstrated much less fluctuation with consistent and sustained increases in value over long periods of time. Savings bonds are safe and predictable, but returns historically have been very low.
With a Teak purchase, you are likely to experience the high returns normally associated with more high-risk or speculative investment but without the speculation and high risk. Your green investment grows in value every year, regardless of stock market or gold volatility. And unlike real estate, a Teak purchase does not require ongoing maintenance payments, capital improvements, management fees or headaches.
The global Teakwood market is driven by growing demand and shrinking supply, making your green investment more valuable each year as it grows to maturity.
[edit] Safety and security
Once planted and fortified, Teak trees flourish in a protected rainforest environment practically impervious to destruction by fire and insects, while the politically-neutral government of Costa Rica provides a stable political and economic environment.
The great news about timber is that it is the only commodity that has had a steadily rising price over 200 years, 100 years, 50 years, 10 years.
Timber is the only reliable negatively correlated asset class. This is because timber owners can withhold the forest. If they find the price of lumber low, they just don’t harvest. There is no cost of storage and the tree continues to grow and increase in value.
