Investing Globally in Forestland |
| $150 |
2007 |
|
The forest ownership landscape in the U.S. is undergoing significant change as ownerships shift from vertically integrated timber companies, to institutional investors, such as pension funds, university endowments, insurance companies and charitable trusts. Over the last ten years, institutional investment in timberland has grown from just under $4 billion in 1995, to nearly $12 billion by 2003, fueled by high rates of return and the success of tax efficient vehicles such as REITs. This conference examined the potential benefits and challenges to investing in timberland and was directed both to investors in U.S. properties and to issues encountered by investors in acquiring offshore properties. To date the majority of institutional timberland investments have occurred in the U.S., where strong wood demand, political stability, abundant capital and favorable tax treatment entice investors. Increasingly, European and other offshore investors are looking at U.S. timberlands for part of their portfolios.

2003 |

Historically, large, private, industrial-grade forests were largely
viewed as production resources. During the last fifteen years, such
forests increasingly have been classified and held as financial assets
by the forest industry and the investment community. This changes
affects all with an interest in forest ownership and management.
This conference provided a forum for examining the strategic drivers
that are causing private forestland investors to rethink how and
why they are holding and managing forests.

| price varies |
2006 |

Forestry companies continue to sell their timberland throughout the United States and the world, in response to increasing pressure for shareholder return, competition in the global market place and consolidation in the industry. There are huge ramifications for not only the forest products industry but also forest management, biodiversity, forest integrity and forest-dependent communities. The third Summit in this series continues examining these issues.
