Savills one of the UK's leading estate agencies has just released it's Forest Market report. Whilst the report focuses on UK forestry the message is clear:
Woodland and Forestry bucks the downward trend
The main points of the report are as follows:
- Forestry prices have outperformed Equities by more than 50% over the past two years.
- Since 1976, Rural Estates have also outperformed Equities year-on-year with Rural Estates up by nearly 30 per cent against Equities, currently down by more than 30 per cent at the latest count. See the graph here
- Over a three year period, Forestry has outperformed both Farming's Top 25% and Rural Estates. See the graph here
- Against a current backdrop of sharply declining investment assets across a broad spectrum, an investment in commercial woods has provided a positive return over the past six years.

The news for forestry investment is good.
Teak has outperformed softwood foresty and timber, combine an investment in teak with development land and you may have the "perfect investment".
Combine that forestry investment with development land in Costa Rica and you have the perfect investment.
