An outstanding opportunity to balance your investment portfolio!
Sustainable Investment Opportunities
For the perfect balance to more volatile stock and real estate portfolios, Emerging Real Estate are pleased to present our clients with 3 original, long-term and stable, alternative investment options.
Bamboo
Over 1 billion people in Asia live in houses made from bamboo, and with a higher tensile strength than steel, bamboo is additionally used in scaffolding, crafted for furniture, flooring, panels, handicraft, chopsticks and even charcoal. As the fastest growing timber on the planet (growing up to 15km over a 13 yr period), and having minimal maintenance requirements, bamboo makes a very appealing investment with high annual returns.
- Invest from as little as US$5,500
- Up to 19% discount when purchasing larger volumes
- No ongoing management or maintenance costs
- Returns produced from first harvest in Year 4
- Annual harvests then produce annual income for owner
- Minimum growth volumes guaranteed by developer
- Returns increase from 8% pa in Year 4 up to 30% pa by Year 8
- 15 yr investment life
- Large plantation company with hundreds of employees in 9 countries
Teak Trees
Global demand for tropical hardwood has multiplied 25 times in the last 40 years and with population growth rates higher than ever this trend will continue. With the crackdown on illegal logging and deforestation, future supply will be restricted driving legal timber prices even higher. Tropical hardwood offers a long-term and stable investment, a good balance against volatile real estate and security markets. Mature Teak specifically gives the same advantages as tropical hardwoods without the bedding-in risk associated with seedlings.
- £15,000 for 50 mature teak trees
- An established plantation of 12 yr old teak
- Avoid the "bedding in" risk associated with any timber seedlings
- Acquire timber during highest value growth curve (producing weather-resistant oils)
- Shorter investment period, harvest in just 7 years
- Avoid typical hardwood investment period ~ 20 years
- Lump sum investment with lump sum return upon harvest
- Final harvest completely at owner’s discretion
- Land and timber are owned under separate notarized contracts
- Separate management agreement ensuring owner authority and control
- Established plantation manager with over 20 years experience
- Approved for investment via UK SIPP pension vehicles
- Forecast net return £73,260 after 7 years (IRR 22%)
Sustainable Agriculture
Sri Lanka’s maize, potato and sugar production falls short by 500,000 tons needed each year to feed its population. This dependency on imports results in excessive costs, vast carbon emissions and high prices. To expand national agriculture, the Government is now encouraging foreign investors to stimulate growth.
- Purchase 5 acres of prime agricultural land for £20,000
- Land ownership securely notarised by Government
- Government-approved 30 yr leaseback contract with farming company
- Leaseback contract gives fixed annual returns from Year 1
- Year 1 contracted rental return 10% pa increasing to 15% pa by Year 6
- Rental income then fixed at 15% per annum for 30 years
- Regular annual income
- Land owner takes advantage of long term rising value of agricultural land
- Government approved established farming company
- Avoid capital gains tax by choosing 99 yr leasehold over freehold
