About Macquarie Agribusiness
The Macquarie Forestry Investment 2009 provides you with an opportunity to invest in Australian plantation forestry with the comfort of knowing that agreements are already in place for the purchase of your trees upon harvest by one of Australia’s largest exporters of pulpwood. With Macquarie Agribusiness, you can feel confident that you will be investing with an experienced and stable manager who provides a long term commitment to managing your investment.

How the investment works:
  • For each Interest you will own a specific group of trees planted on 1/4 hectare of land with expert support at all stages of the process.
  • Once fully grown, after a period of approximately 10 years (investment term is approximately 11.5 years), the trees will be harvested and processed and the woodchips sold on your behalf.
Macquarie Agribusiness is a subsidiary of the Macquarie Group, providing you with the stability and experience of investing with one of Australia’s largest financial institutions.
Macquarie Agribusiness has operated forestry investments for retail investors annually since 2003 and has established and managed more than 17,700 hectares of forestry plantations during that time.

Key benefits of investing:
  • Diversification - agribusiness has historically exhibited low to negative correlation to traditional asset classes such as cash, fixed interest, property or shares and as such can help to provide diversification in your investment portfolio.
  • Tax-effective - 100% tax deductible for your investment in the trees supported by ATO Product Ruling.
  • Pre-sale of your trees - you have the comfort of knowing that before your trees have even been planted, agreements have been signed for the purchase of your trees, once harvested, by Midway(one of Australia's largest exporters of pulpwood).
Investing in the Land Trust
The Macquarie Forestry Investment 2009 also offers you the opportunity to invest in the land on which your trees are grown. By investing in the land you can gain exposure to potentially appreciating rural land prices as well as potentially providing an additional source of income at maturity.

The ability to invest in land as well as trees allows you to manage your downside risk by having the potential for an additional source of income at maturity and exposure to the relative stability of an investment in land.
 
How the Land Trust works:
  • You can invest in 1/4 hectare Units of land (with a minimum investment of one hectare). You have the potential to receive annual cash distributions from your investment in the Land Trust.1
  • You will receive any net proceeds2 from the sale of your land once the trees have been harvested.
You can choose to invest in trees or land or both.
