Global demand for hardwood has itself multiplied 25 times in the last 40 years, and with population growth rates higher than ever this trend will continue. With less than 13% of the world’s surface covered in forests, and concerns over global warming, there is now a global crackdown on illegal logging and deforestation. Supply is being severely restricted and these two factors combined will drive legal timber prices higher in the years to come.

Given the recent volatility in global stock markets, investors are looking towards commodities for security. Tropical forestry offers the ideal diversification from real estate and equity portfolios, providing a non-volatile market with high long-term returns on investment, and a low risk-to return ratio.

Why Teak?

Teak is one of the most valuable of all hardwoods due to its strength and durability. Known for its weather-proof qualities, Teakwood garden benches have graced the parks of England for over 100 years, and Teak is the wood of choice for marine applications around the world

When are the trees planted?
Global Forestry Investments have a policy of continually planting their own stock during appropriate planting seasons, so if your trees are not already planted in your own plot initially they will be allocated in our nurseries.

Will too many plantations reduce the value of the timber?
Plantations today produce less than 1% of the tropical hardwoods consumed in the world. Every year 50 million acres of rainforest are felled. It is unlikely that enough plantations can ever be established to keep timber prices from spiraling out of control.

Even with ongoing international pressure against deforestation and illegal logging, globally tropical forests are being destroyed at a rate of approximately 13 million ha per year. This is roughly four times the size of Belgium and this destruction is responsible for 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions (this is more than all the world’s planes, trains and automobiles combined). Despite this only a measly 1% of tropical forests are certified by third parties as being sustainably managed.

Andrew on generating the business idea...

"My business partner and I used to buy land with and without planning permission around the world. We were looking at land for property to begin with, when we came across forestry land, which was like a lightbulb moment where we found that you can make a lot of money through ethical investments in planting trees.

I have said it before and I will say it again timber is the number one commodity in a recession.

In early February the stock market was trading off its recent highs and most commodities were taking a hit as the US dollar rose. Not timber though as it shrugged off the selling and hit a fresh two year high.
