Why farmland?
- Farmland has had low correlation with other asset classes: profitability is steered through higher physical crop yields and the addition of higher-value crops. These farmland value drivers keep it distinct from real estate, infrastructure and private equity.
- The market value of farmland has historically correlated with inflation.
- Growing populations in liaison with rising incomes are driving global demand for food and feedstock.
Why Austria?
- Austria has a stable track record of farmland appreciation. The sector undergoes structural changes by transforming to more effective farming units and hence becoming an attractive investment alternative.
- Climate change affects Austria in a way that vegetation periods become warmer and shorter. It is another crucial driver for making farming units thrive for more effective and sustainably efficient corporate structures and production methods.
- Austria is a safe harbour regarding the rule of law. Arbitrary expropriation of land is prevented by constitutionality. A risk-optimized exit-strategy provides a sound base to take-home the attractive yield of land appreciation at the end of the investment period.
