Tropical hardwoods – standing firm in volatile markets
There has never been a better time to invest in timber. The stock markets are down, the currency markets in turmoil … but you can depend on trees. Over recent years timber has proved itself resilient to volatility in other asset classes, delivering illegally logged. More and more countries, most recently the EU, are outlawing the import of unsustainable harvested wood.
Hardwood prices have kept on rising – by around 15 per cent a year between 2002 and 2006. Teak returns during the past 18 years have averaged almost 10 per cent a year.
Oxigen Investments plc uses investors' money to create hardwood plantations in Brazil and Malaysia. For an investment of £10,000 upwards, investors lease their forestry investment plot, receiving 100 per cent of the net profit generated when the timber is harvested and sold on maturity.
The investment is particularly suitable as a long-term investment in Child Trust Funds. However it differs from most other CTF’s where you see nothing over the term of the investment. Oxigen gives investors the opportunity to take dividend payments when it suits them. Timber is also a suitable investment for Self Invested Pension Plans.
