Timberland Investment Outlook: 2013-2017

Timberland, along with farmland, infrastructure, and other real assets, has been growing in favour among institutional investors due to the attractive characteristics of the asset class. New Forests’ publication Timberland Investment Outlook: 2013-17 focuses on key trends in institutional investment into timberland and provides recommendations on the development of internationally diversified timberland portfolios. The report also explores key trends in the forest sector, including the international supply-demand picture, potential for new markets for biomass from forests, and the growing role of sustainability in forest management. The report is a follow-up to New Forests’ first Timberland Investment Outlook, released in 2011.
