Farmland a safe haven from today's economic situation

In today's economic climate of volatile stock markets, negative returns from bonds and term deposits plus the uncertainty surrounding the economies of most western countries, Farmland stands out as an asset class that can not only be a safe haven but is likely to provide a return that at least keeps up with inflation and preserves your capital.

For example our Australian Farmland investment, has a projected annual return of 8% plus the opportunity for capital gain. Australian Farmland has averaged greater than 10% annual increase prior to 2010 (see here). This investment is designed for retail investors with low minimum investment.

To be sure of the safety of the capital you invest, it helps if you can invest at prices that are a good discount to land values in similar countries, here is where Australian land is the pick of the bunch. At an average $1600 to $1700 USD/ ha Australian Farmland is a bargain compared to the likes of the UK and even New Zealand.

Driven by increasing Global food demand, limited availability of arable land and situated within a politically stable country, investing in Australian Farmland is arguably one of the safest places to store your wealth.

For me the icing on the cake, with this investment, is that economic drivers like population demographics are pretty much beyond the meddling of local politicians printing and spending themselves to political success!!

Jim Rogers Raising fund for Australian farmland - Go Where the Smart Money Goes!

The legandary investor Jim Rogers is in the news again with his plans to raise a large private fund to buy farmland in Australia. Rogers was the investor who coined the term "commodities supercycle" over 10 years ago, and he is especially enamored of farmland as an investment.

Green World believes Rogers is absolutely right about farmland investments and there are now options in Australian farmland, farmland investment in Europe and farmland in Africa that are both SIPP eligible investments AND readily available to individual retail investors. If you believe in what Jim Rogers is saying but have always wondered how you could benefit from this asset class, then feel free to drop a note at info@greenworldbvi.com and further documents can be provided!
