August 24, 2011 - As world financial markets continue to zigzag between fear and euphoria, boutique alternative investment firm GreenWorld BVI has introduced a unique timber investment targeted at retail investors.
GreenWorld BVI is involved in timber investments due to the low correlation of forestry and timber investments to financial assets such as stocks and bonds. The firm also believes that timber investments offer a safe haven should inflation accelerate as the money printed by global central banks works its way into economies.
The timber investment opportunity is based in Germany, and involves the unique Paulownia tree. Until recently, Paulownia could only thrive in warmer climates, but intensive research over the last few years has resulted in the development of clones that can also thrive in the European climate. The project is based on sustainable forestry principles that leave native hardwoods untouched, and the Paulownia tree also absorbs large amounts of CO2 thereby mitigating global warming.
Paulownia is a hardwood timber that has long been used in the making of moldings, cabinets, veneers, furniture and musical instruments. It has now been recognized for applications where weight is an important element- such as marine construction, aircraft construction, trucks, trains, RVs, buses, pallets, crates, finished products to be shipped and vehicle interiors.
The timber investment has a twelve year-term, which Cohn noted was faster then many other hardwood timber investments, and plots are available starting from one-half hectare and above. Cohn added that the investment was targeted at retail investors, with prices starting as low as 16,000 Euros (about $23,000 and approximately £14,000). The plantation managers are estimating returns in excess of 300% at the end of the twelve year term of the investment, which comes out to approximately 15% per year compounded.
