2. OVERVIEW
This Organisation is inviting Clients to participate in their managed hardwood forestry activities; low risk, high
growth, turnkey timber investments in Costa Rica and Argentina. Clients purchase hectares of hardwood trees,
which are grown, managed, harvested and processed on their behalf by the Organisation. On maturity, the top
quality timber is then sold in accordance with the Owner’s (i.e. the Client’s) instructions.
THE OPPORTUNITY
After oil, timber rates second in raw materials per global
turnover volume. With the world’s population and their living
conditions on the rise and the felling restrictions in native
forests, there is a significant production shortfall. ! Teak in particular is in high demand due to its strength,
durability and fire resistance. It has a high market value, with
an average return since 1987 of 14.1% (Source: AIMCO 2011) and
standard deviation of 9.4% (Source: Hancock Timber Resource
Group 2011)*. Teak prices are predicted to continue to grow in
line with population growth.
*Market value is not guaranteed. Past results do not guarantee future
results. ! The Organisation is a leading European company, headquartered in Toronto, Alicante and Madrid with offices in
seven other countries. It is committed to the sustainable and ecological harvesting of tropical and subtropical fine
hardwoods in previously deforested areas of Cost Rica and Argentina. It is offering individuals and companies the
opportunity to purchase hectares of renewable FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) and GAP (Good Agricultural
Practice) certified hardwood trees (Teak or Eucalyptus) on their sustainable plantations. !
INVESTMENT STUCTURE
▪ Not a regulated investment and not a fund, scheme or other corporate vehicle
▪ The trees within the plantation are the property of the Client
▪ A long-term investment (see projections below)
▪ Clients make a single upfront payment and there are no ongoing cash requirements
▪ The Organisation will take a 5% success fee at the end of the product lifecycle
▪ Teak: €40,000 per hectare (minimum investment). Timber only. Growth period 16 years
▪ Eucalyptus: €12,500 per hectare (minimum investment). Timber only. Growth period 8 years
▪ Investments over €1,000,000 purchase the timber and the plantation (see projections below). Plantations can
contain additional varieties of timber, in addition to teak and eucalyptus, in order to provide portfolio
diversification !
RISKS
▪ Risks such as weather, disease, insects or fire are inherent. The Company holds insurance to cover these risks
▪ There may be market price risks at harvesting. However, as the Organisation is in control of the entire process
and the Client is not obliged to sell at a set point, this risk can be effectively managed
▪ As BDO International carry out an annual audit, Clients can be assured that the Organisation is financially sound !
PROJECT PROCESS
The entire process, from initial purchase through to final disposal, will be managed by the Organisation on the
Client’s behalf. Trees and plantations are managed by forestry and agricultural engineers, ensuring optimum
results, and therefore returns, at the end of the production cycle. There will be modest interim returns as a result
of tree thinning (see projections below). ! At the end of the production cycle, Clients can decide how they wish to dispose of their trees based on prevailing
market conditions and personal preferences. Should Clients wish to divest themselves of the timber prior to
maturity, the Organisation offers an independent, secondary market with zero commission or fees. !
CLIENT SERVICES
The Organisation prides itself on working closely with its Clients to assist with portfolio management. It can provide
regular visits to the Client to ensure the project continues to meet their needs; will provide an annual report on
the state of the market, and hosts regular Clients visits to its plantations. !!!
