| Description |
An innovative structure designed to maximise returns and to reduce the downside risk of investing in agriculture. |
|
The Macquarie Forestry Investment 2008 is an opportunity to invest in Australian forestry as well as the land on which the trees are grown.
By investing in land as well as trees, the value of the land may offset the risk of investing by potentially producing an additional source of income at maturity. The Macquarie Forestry Investment was the first in the market to offer investors the opportunity to invest in both trees and land.
Macquarie Group seeks to provide investors with the benefit of their comprehensive risk management and operational framework; in addition Macquarie used its structuring expertise to offer an investment that aims to reduce the risk of an agribusiness investment while maximising returns.
Trees in the Macquarie Forestry Investment 2008 are managed by Midway and McEwens who have combined experience of over 30 years. Macquarie have also signed agreements with Midway, one of Australia's largest exporters of pulpwood for the purchase of your trees, giving you the peace of mind.
The Tree Project
Each interest you purchase will be a specific group of trees planted on 1/4 hectare of land. The trees will be fully grown after a period of approximately 10 years, the trees will be harvested, processed and the woodchips will be sold on your behalf.
The Land Trust
Each unit is 1/4 hectare of land and will receive 6% of the net harvest proceeds as rental income. Once the trees have been harvested at maturity, you will receive any net proceeds from the subsequent sale of your land.
Minimum Investment
- Tree Project - $8,800 (4 Interests at $2200 per interest)
- Land Trust - $2000 (4 units at $500 per unit)
