Speakers from Gresham House, Preqin and PRI discuss the commercial Forestry opportunity - November 2019
With minimal correlation to bonds and equities, positive correlation to inflation, and positive environmental and social attributes, investing in forests makes a lot of sense.
Which is why, towards the end of last year, Gresham House held a ‘Forestry Teach-In’, to discuss the potential financial and environmental benefits of forestry investment in the UK.

Historical performance is no guarantee of future performance. Capital at risk.
Returns are driven by timber prices, which Gresham House forecast will continue to rise, as demand for timber continues to increase globally.
